Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, Accounting, Engineering, Math, or similar field.
Very strong Excel skills; able to build & audit complex models.
Solid foundation in corporate finance, accounting, and valuation.
Experience (Formal or Informal)
Prior internships or full‑time experience in investment banking, PE/VC, consulting, or corporate finance is a plus (but not always required if you're exceptional).
Demonstrated interest in investing, deals, and business analysis (clubs, projects, side hustles, or self‑directed learning count).
Soft Skills & Mindset
High ownership mentality - you don't wait to be told what to do; you hunt for answers.
Strong written and verbal communication - you can tell the story behind the numbers.
Comfortable with long hours when deals are live and stakes are high.
Curious, humble, and coachable - willing to learn fast and iterate.
