Boutique Investment Bank in the Greater Minneapolis area seeking an Investment Banking Associate for their team. This bank has a true family-feel, offers fantastic work-life-balance and upside, and is a great place to be for anyone who wants to have increased ownership over the deals they work on.
Average 50-60/hr work weeks and a “leave your laptop at home when on vacation” culture, this is a “no ego” firm where leadership prioritizes time with family. There are very few investment banking roles with this sort of balance and upside.
Ideal candidates have 1-3 years of investment banking, transaction advisory, FDD or valuations experience. If you are in TAS/FDD at an audit firm, this is your chance to break into IB.
Fantastic opportunity to join a multi-billion dollar AUM investment firm in downtown Minneapolis and make an impact on a growing business.
This is a newly created role due to growth and will be involved in FP&A, Fund Accounting, Investor Relations, and AI-initiatives. You’ll work on ad-hoc analysis and reporting for their portfolio, budgeting/forecasting, monthly accounting cycle for multiple funds, and support quarterly valuation processes. The firm leverages Claude and ChatGPT enterprise-wide and even has an “AI bonus pool” allocated to be distributed to employees who come up with new ideas/processes using AI.
The culture is fantastic — no ego policy, young and energetic leadership, and an agile business that encourages their people to “fail fast and fail often” — there are no bad ideas and is a great opportunity for someone who is excited by ambiguity.
The ideal candidate has between 2-5 years of experience in Public Accounting Audit with financial services clients or prior Fund Accounting/Analyst experience. CPA preferred.
