Could you please describe the day to day activities involved with a corporate finance summer internship?

Hi Sam,

One of my favourite things about working in corporate finance is that the role can vary from day-to-day and is particularly dependent on the type of project you will be working on.

However, I would expect some core activities to include: company research on a target or client, helping to prepare for and attend client meetings, pulling together information for a report, perhaps some analysis in excel... it really does vary!

Whoever you are working with will try to ensure you have interesting and engaging tasks to do and, if there is something specific you would like to do then raise your hand and I am sure people will try to help you achieve this.

Thanks
Rachel

Hi Rachel,
Thank you very much for your reply. Working in corporate finance really interests me and I'm keen to learn more about it. Are there any resources you would recommend to learn more about corporate finance?
Many thanks,
Sam

Hi Sam,
Nothing too specific at this stage, I would recommend keeping up with the news including any large mergers / acquisitions. If you can mention one of these and consider some of the potential rationale / implications at interview it can help to illustrate your interest and commitment to the industry
