Job Description:
Cappello Capital Corp. is an investment bank focused on providing M&A advisory services and private placements of equity and debt to public and private companies located in the U.S. and internationally. We do not provide trading, brokerage or research services, as we are solely focused on executing fundamental, negotiated transactions that generally involve a single buyer/investor or a very small group of buyers/investors. Our firm is based in Santa Monica, CA and maintains an office in Austin, TX. The majority of our business is referral-based, so most of our time is spent evaluating opportunities and executing, rather than pitching. We are also active internationally, which is unique among middle market investment banking firms and this provides the opportunity for our junior professionals to gain valuable cross-border experience. The unpaid internship positions will be in our Austin office. More information can be found on our website at www.cappellocorp.com.
Job Responsibilities:
performing financial valuation analyses, building and using financial models, preparing presentation materials for pitches, conducting industry and product research, marketing and business development activities. Please note that this is a full-time position.
Job Qualifications:
The ideal candidate will have a strong interest in investment banking, and will be studying finance or accounting. If you meet the above criteria, please e-mail a resume with cover letter to resumes@cappellocorp.com. Include “Intern – Texas” in the Subject line of the e-mail. If your experience varies significantly from the requirements described above, please do not submit an application. Apply only by email; no phone calls, please.
