Finance Intern

The Role

If you are looking for a career with a fast-paced growth company, have a passion for cultivating a love of reading and learning, and an eagerness to be part of an innovative company focused on improving education experiences for children and the educators who serve them, think about Capstone! We are seeking a Finance Intern to join our team. 

The Finance Intern will provide support to the Finance department and gain hands-on experience across multiple areas of accounting and financial operations. This role offers opportunities to learn how to improve processes within an accounting team while contributing to daily departmental activities.

While most of our company functions on a hybrid work model, this intern would primarily plan to office out of our North Mankato or Edina, MN office. Hybrid remote work may be considered. 

Why You’ll Want To Join Capstone

Have you ever read something that increased your understanding of the world around you? An article, a book, a research paper, a piece of local legislation, even a poem or short story?

Capstone is a mission-driven community of passionate, creative people like you who believe in the power of literacy. Our mission is to make reading fun for kids, so that they never experience literacy as the barrier that prevents them from understanding and engaging with the world around them. 

For over 30 years, Capstone has led the way in K–5 educational publishing, creating award-winning books and digital learning experiences (PebbleGo). The information landscape has changed dramatically since we first started out in 1991, and competition for kids’ attention is at an all-time high. This changing landscape inspires our continued growth and innovation – today’s kids need trusted sources of content more than ever, but their standards for what’s considered engaging have never been higher! At Capstone, we’re excited by that challenge – are you?
