Analysts typically join our program after completion of an undergraduate degree; however, we will consider applicants with relevant experience.

Analysts are active participants during every phase of the transaction process, working closely with senior bankers and interacting with clients. Analysts at McColl Partners are involved in all aspects of analysis and presentations associated with a wide variety of transactional assignments.

“A select few events have had a significant impact on the direction of my life – the decision to join McColl Partners was one of them.

Differentiation and impact are two guiding principles that drove my decision to join McColl Partners and continue to shape my professional life. Differentiation – not following the herd – provides me with a great deal of satisfaction in my professional life. Also, in making a decision on whether or not to join a company – I want to make an impact.

“It is hard to stress enough the critical role McColl Partners played in my professional development. Any investment bank will teach you technical skills. At McColl Partners, I also learned to work effectively with management teams and to understand the key strategic concepts underlying transactions. My thoughts regarding strategic issues were not only solicited by senior bankers, they were expected. The support provided by the McColl team members and the combination of skills I developed there not only prepared me for the challenges I faced in private equity, but also played a critical role in my acceptance to Wharton several years later.”

“McColl Partners provides Analysts with a unique opportunity to actively participate in all phases of the deal process, from pitching to marketing to documentation.

In addition, McColl Partners’ collegiate, close-knit culture enabled me to develop strong, long-lasting relationships that I know will be invaluable as my career progresses.”

“The decision to join McColl Partners was an easy one, especially after I had a chance to meet the professionals at the Firm and understand the experience afforded to Analysts. The tremendous responsibility I received as an Analyst enabled me to actively participate in and contribute to all aspects of the deal process, which proved to be a differentiating factor in the private equity interview process as employers sought candidates who had the ability to think critically about an investment opportunity in addition to possessing the requisite modeling skills.”
