Ready to jumpstart your career with an internship at Naylor?

“Being a finance intern at Naylor has furthered my understanding of how a business operates: I was taught how to understand and efficiently use multiple software systems for reporting and analysis, and I was able to further my understanding of accounting and finance topics I’d been introduced to in school. The time that I spent here was consistently about learning and working on projects that had a direct impact on the company – it was not uncommon for me to work on analyses that would be directly sent to the Director of Finance or the CFO. I also learned more about Excel than I knew there was to learn, and all of the skills I’ve built on while I’ve been here have allowed me to become a stronger candidate to succeed as an analyst post-graduation.”

– Alex Munoz, Finance Intern

“My summer internship with Naylor was exactly the experience I needed to feel confident when facing the job market. Interviewers always seemed impressed with the experience I was able to get at Naylor. I got plenty of other job offers, but wanted to come back to the welcoming and challenging environment Naylor offers.”
– Shelby McKeown, former Naylor intern, current marketing account specialist
“At Naylor, I’ve been able to apply many complex concepts learned in the classroom to real-life scenarios. Putting these ideas into practice has helped me develop my understanding of finance and how a business is run. I’ve been able to sharpen my technical skills by becoming proficient in Microsoft Excel and other software Naylor uses. As a whole, the Finance team consists of people a couple of years out of school who can relate to you on a personal level. Everyone is ready to help out if you’re stuck on an issue or just want advice on where to go next. Because everyone on the team has different tasks, you learn a wide variety of things from each member. Unlike many other internships, all the work you do has an immediate impact. I’ve been able to prepare analyses that the CEO and CFO use in their weekly presentations. As far as scheduling goes, the managers understand that you’re a student and need time to focus on school as well as your personal life. As long as you’re able to work a couple of times a week, they’ll be flexible!”
– Oscar Skjaerpe, Finance Intern

Internship Areas

Accounting

Accounting internships are open to sophomore, junior or senior-level students actively enrolled in an undergraduate program at a local accredited university. Accounting interns will help reconcile general ledger accounts, perform roll-forward analysis of balance sheet accounts, provide clerical support for sales tax reporting and support the payment processing team. Interns can expect to gain solid experience assisting with general accounting month-end closing procedures, Sarbanes-Oxley compliance testing and auditing. In addition, accounting interns are asked to complete special projects as needed. We require our accounting interns to demonstrate a high level of integrity, accuracy, dependability, enthusiasm and confidentiality. Candidates should also have strong technical and organizational skills in addition to excellent written and verbal communication abilities. Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications (Excel, Word, and PowerPoint) are a plus.

Content/Editorial

The content strategy internship provides the opportunity for students to gain knowledge and experience working in business-to-business media and association publishing with Naylor Association Solutions. Interns will work directly with Naylor’s content department to create quality publications for associations to use as a membership information and engagement tool. This will be done through editorial planning, content creation, copy editing and proofing. The goal of this program is to give interns relevant content and editorial experience so that they can compete in the current employment climate while at the same time supporting the Naylor content team.

Corporate Marketing

The Corporate Marketing internship supports Naylor’s efforts related to lead generation marketing, database marketing and campaign reporting. The goal of this program is to provide hands-on experience in marketing and marketing operations as well as general activity related to working in a corporate marketing environment. This internship may include the creation of email marketing campaigns, promotional flyers, campaign ROI reporting, PowerPoint presentations and other activities related to the support of the inside and outside sales and marketing teams.

Corporate Finance

The corporate finance internship provides the opportunity for finance students to gain knowledge and experience working on financial analysis, budgeting and reporting through interactions with senior management, including the CFO and CEO. Finance interns work with our finance team under Naylor’s director of finance and senior analysts to analyze business solutions that uncover trends and opportunities, prepare annual company budgets, and complete weekly financial reporting, including company-wide cash-flow reports. Interns can expect to learn how to use Naylor’s budgeting and reporting software as well as field internal and external ad hoc analysis requests. Finance interns must be enrolled at an accredited university and pursuing a degree in finance, economics, business or a similar field of study. Candidates should have a current GPA of 3.0 or higher, strong organizational and communication skills, and the ability to work with a high level of integrity, accuracy, dependability, enthusiasm and confidentiality.

Human Resources (HR)

The HR intern works closely with the HR team and director of human resources on a variety of projects to assist the intern in understanding the various disciplines related to human resources, including recruitment and retention, benefits administration, labor law, compliance, health and wellness, safety and security, performance management, policies and procedures, coaching and discipline, and more.

Sales Administration

A sales administration internship offers the opportunity to gain experience supporting a sales team in pursuit of more leads and increased revenue on short- and long-term projects. Strong sales support helps our sales representatives earn our associations more non-dues revenue which in turn helps them fulfill their missions. Sales administration interns assist our sales department through online and publication-based lead sourcing, product and service category research, and by providing general support such as faxing, photocopying and other office duties. Candidates should have strong communication and interpersonal skills, proficiency in the Microsoft Office suite, and some office or administrative experience.
