Deloitte Corporate Finance - Investment Banking Associate (Summer 2025)

Deloitte Corporate Finance - Investment Banking Associate

Our middle-market investment banking practice seeks ambitious, creative, and experienced leaders who enjoy an entrepreneurial work environment and look to accelerate their professional development. Our Associate role is an industry generalist program that exposes bankers to a variety of business models, transaction dynamics, and management styles through close interaction with senior bankers across the practice. As an Investment Banking Associate, you will coordinate the activities of the various members of the Deloitte Corporate Finance transaction team (and often those of other Deloitte specialists) and manage daily communications with clients.

Work you'll do

You will be at the center of each transaction, providing leadership to your internal and client teams to meet the objectives of the process. As the quarterback of the transaction, an Associate will be responsible for working with senior bankers to manage the cadence and tactics core to the process. You will actively contribute to the strategic positioning of our clients to the market and, in the process, lead teams of analysts through models and analytics to support the creation of marketing and diligence documents. On the back end of the transaction, you will contribute to negotiation strategy and advise legal teams and clients on business issues in definitive agreements. Associates can expect to travel to pitches for new business, due diligence meetings with clients, and negotiations with strategic and private equity buyers.

  • You can expect to be co-located 80-100% with variations based on types of work/projects and client locations
