What You'll Do • Develop forecasting, budgeting, and corporate financial planning analyses, including operating metrics and KPI frameworks that frame strategic and financing decisions. • Build and own complex financial models - three-statement models, DCF, LBO, M&A accretion/dilution, and comparable company and precedent transaction analyses - and perform customized company valuation work. • Gather and synthesize financial and operating information on companies, industries, and markets, applying sound analytical and statistical reasoning to financial data sets. • Prepare and own client presentations, pitch materials, and transaction memoranda, producing output that is client-ready and tells a clear, well-supported story. • Help manage transaction processes end to end: coordinate diligence, work alongside tax advisors, attorneys, and other bankers, and support the negotiation of legal documentation. • Interact directly with client senior executives, maintain client communication, and present sections of materials in client and team meetings. Required Experience • Wall Street experience (hard requirement): a minimum of 12 months to 2 years at a leading Wall Street firm e.g. Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, J.P.

Technical Skills • Excel — expert level (required): fluency with VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, INDEX/MATCH, array formulas, data imports, Power Query, pivot tables, macros and Claude plugin.

What We're Looking For • Exceptional work ethic, motivation, and attention to detail, with the commercial instinct to perform under pressure and against tight deadlines. • Strong analytical and numerical skills that put you at ease with financial data, paired with the ability to articulate complex ideas simply. • Excellent written and verbal communication and strong interpersonal and client skills. • A team orientation, high professional and ethical standards, and a track record of outstanding academic and professional achievement.
