About the Accounting Team

Zipline is looking for a driven and detail-oriented Accounting Intern to join our Finance & Accounting team. You’ll work on critical accounting tasks that help keep Zipline’s global operations running smoothly and efficiently. This is a hands-on internship where you’ll learn the building blocks of corporate accounting in a fast-paced, mission-driven environment. You’ll support the team with financial operations, assist with month-end close, and help ensure our systems and records stay sharp and audit-ready.

This internship is perfect for someone who wants to explore what it’s like to be an in-house accountant at a global, high-growth tech company—and who’s excited to dig into the details of autonomous drone delivery!

What You'll Do

• Assist in core accounting processes including preparing journal entries, reconciling accounts, and maintaining accurate records.
• Support the monthly and quarterly financial close by compiling data, running reports, and preparing schedules.
• Learn how Zipline’s finance systems work, and support data entry, analysis, and cleanup projects.
• Partner with our country operations and manufacturing teams to support fixed asset accounting activities, including asset tracking, capitalization, and reconciliation.
• Collaborate with the broader Finance, Procurement, and Operations teams to track transactions and streamline processes.
• Learn about international accounting operations and get exposure to Zipline’s global footprint.

What You'll Bring

• You must have completed the second year of your undergraduate studies in Accounting. Masters are also eligible. 
• You’re organized, detail-oriented, and not afraid of spreadsheets.
• You’re comfortable working with numbers and eager to apply what you’ve learned in school to real-world work.
• Familiarity with Excel or Google Sheets (bonus if you’ve used formulas or pivot tables!)
• Passion for Zipline’s mission and a curiosity about accounting in a global tech startup.
• You ask good questions and enjoy problem-solving.
• You’re reliable, resourceful, and motivated to learn by doing.
