Career readiness is important as accounting and taxation students transition from university to work, where inadequate preparation may hinder their entry into professional roles. Previous studies have often examined self-efficacy, internship experience, or training separately, leaving limited evidence on their combined associations with readiness among taxation-focused students. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the partial and simultaneous associations of self-efficacy, internship experience, and tax training with career readiness among Accounting and D4 Tax Accounting students at Universitas Pamulang, Indonesia. Method: A cross-sectional quantitative survey used purposive sampling to select 236 eligible students in semester seven or above who had internship and tax-training experience, from a population of 1,059 students. Data from a 24-item, five-point Likert questionnaire were analyzed using multiple linear regression, t tests, an F test, and R²; assumptions were assessed using the Kolmogorov–Smirnov, tolerance/VIF, and Glejser tests. Findings: Self-efficacy (β = 0.220, p = 0.001), internship experience (β = 0.101, p = 0.037), and tax training (β = 0.615, p < 0.001) were positively associated with career readiness. The model was significant, F(3, 232) = 303.880, p < 0.001, with R² = 0.797 and adjusted R² = 0.795. Implications: Universities can connect applied tax training and relevant internships with career-preparation activities that build students’ confidence. Originality: The study examines psychological confidence, workplace exposure, and tax-specific preparation together in one model among accounting and taxation students at an Indonesian university.
