Who We Are
Sometimes, a group of people come together and create something amazing. They don’t let egos get in the way. They don’t settle for the status quo, and they don’t complain when things get tough. Instead, they see a common vision for the future and each person makes an unspoken commitment to building that future together. That’s the culture, the moxie, and the story of Aspida.
Our business focuses on annuities and life insurance. At first, it might not sound flashy, but that’s why we’re doing things differently than everyone else in our industry. We’re dedicated to developing data-driven tech solutions, providing amazing customer experiences, and applying an entrepreneurial spirit to everything we do. Our work ethic is built on three main tenets: Get $#! Done, Do It with Moxie, and Have Fun. If this sounds like the place for you, read on, and then apply at aspida.com/careers.
What We Are Looking For
We are looking for a current student pursuing a degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field, with a strong passion for tax and financial services. The ideal candidate will possess strong analytical and problem-solving skills to assist in preparing tax returns, analyzing tax data, and supporting various tax-related projects. We value excellent communication and organizational abilities to ensure clear and efficient collaboration with internal departments and external stakeholders.
The candidate should also be proficient in Microsoft Excel, as it will be used frequently for data analysis and reporting. A proactive attitude is essential, as this role will require independent thinking and initiative to tackle tasks effectively. Attention to detail and a team-focused mindset are also critical, as the intern will work closely with the tax team and other departments. This role is required to be onsite 3 days a week at our Durham, NC headquarters.
