"DSG's internship was rewarding, meaningful, and LOTS of fun! My project challenged me into creating something I am beyond proud of, and every relationship I built along the way is one I hope to maintain for years to come. I truly don't think I could have had a better summer anywhere else!" Mallory Johnson, People & Purpose (HR) Intern
"What I loved most about my internship at DSG was the opportunity to take ownership of a meaningful project that delivered real business value. I was trusted to design, build, and deliver a solution that is now being enhanced for production. Along the way, I had the support of an amazing team, mentor, and manager who encouraged me to learn, grow, and challenge myself. The experience strengthened both my technical skills and my confidence as a professional in this industry." - Kevin Dong, Software Engineering Intern
"This internship allowed me to step out of my comfort zone by learning an entirely new area of business. I had the opportunity to work on a cross-functional team that genuinely supported my growth and wanted to see me succeed in both my project and day-to-day work. Along the way, I built amazing friendships with fellow interns who were like-minded and driven. Overall, I felt empowered to grow both professionally and personally, reaching my fullest potential while gaining valuable experience and confidence." - Morgan Cartwright, Merchandising Intern
"I loved that I had the chance to work on addressing real business needs through my project. When I was introduced to my project, I was told that the analysis I will perform will add value to the business, so when I was able to present and see it well-received by the stakeholders involved, it was extremely rewarding. I think it is so cool that in just two months here, I was able to take part in work that will help the business for years to come." - Owen Stoltz, Finance Intern
"My internship here has really been the best summer ever! I loved that I was working on something that felt important and valuable to the business and to my team, and my team was always super welcoming and willing to help me learn and grow. The relationships I was able to develop with my Training Manager and everyone I worked with, even across teams have been so valuable to me. I also really appreciated connecting with the other interns, whether it was exploring Pittsburgh on the weekends or hanging around in DSG-provided housing. I was able to get a good grasp on a variety of aspects of the business through talking to other interns and attending events like our Executive Speaker Series. This is definitely a company that I have been excited to get up and work for every day, and I'm super grateful to have had an internship here this summer!" - Jaeden Casasnovas, Retail Analytics Intern

Corporate Finance Associate Internship Market
Who's Hiring
Tips for Your Corporate Finance Associate Internship Search
Apply earlier than you think you need to
Large employers in banking, asset management, and corporate development fill summer intern cohorts the preceding fall. Smaller companies and co-op programs post closer to start dates, so openings appear across the full calendar year. Identify your target programs by September and get applications in during the first recruiting wave.
Build a project portfolio before you start applying
Hiring teams for corporate finance associate internships expect limited work history, so your projects carry more weight than your resume length. Document two or three complete analyses, financial models, or valuation exercises, name every tool you used, and make them accessible via a link, PDF, or shared drive you can send with any application.
Work your campus network and apply directly at the same time
Campus career fairs surface structured programs tied to your university, and recruiters there often move faster for students they meet in person. Your professors and career center staff frequently know which employers recruit from your school before roles post publicly. Applying directly to companies running smaller cohorts alongside campus activity widens the pool you reach.
Practice your technical screen out loud before applying
Corporate finance associate intern interviews typically include a case or financial modeling screen, often covering valuation, DCF analysis, or deal mechanics. Practice working through problems out loud and explaining your reasoning at each step, since interviewers weigh how you structure your thinking as much as whether you reach the right answer.
Target structured rotational programs early in your search
Many large financial services and corporate firms run dedicated rotational or analyst development programs built to train people new to corporate finance. These cohorts recruit early, fill fast, and offer structured mentorship across business units. Identify the programs that match your target sector, check their application windows, and apply in the first recruiting wave.
Set your work-type filter before you start
On-site roles are 30% of the corporate finance associate internships listed here. Decide what you can realistically commit to before you start sorting listings. Filtering by location and work type upfront means you spend your time on roles you can actually take, not sorting through postings that don't fit your situation.
Corporate Finance Associate Internships: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a corporate finance associate internship?
Lead with coursework and completed projects rather than work history, since hiring teams expect limited experience at the intern level. A documented financial model, valuation analysis, or case study gives recruiters something concrete to assess. Pair direct applications with campus career fairs, where recruiters often move faster for students they meet in person.
Can a corporate finance associate internship turn into a full-time job?
Many employers extend return offers to strong interns, but conversion is never guaranteed. What drives it for corporate finance associate interns is consistent performance on real deliverables, team headcount at offer time, and understanding the return-offer timeline early. Position for it by treating every project as a demonstration of full-time readiness, without counting on a specific outcome.
When should I apply for corporate finance associate internships?
Earlier than most candidates expect. Large employers, particularly in banking and asset management, recruit summer interns the preceding fall, often closing cohorts before spring semester begins. Smaller companies and co-op programs post closer to start dates, so openings appear year-round. Checking listings regularly means you catch both recruiting cycles.
Are corporate finance associate internships paid?
Most professional corporate finance associate internships in the U.S. are paid. Compensation varies by company size, industry, and location. Where an employer discloses pay, the listing shows it. Unpaid arrangements are more common at very small firms or nonprofit organizations, so check each posting individually.
What should a corporate finance associate internship resume include?
Lead with two or three complete, documented projects, naming the tools used and where to see the work. For corporate finance associate candidates, that means linked financial models, published case studies, or valuation write-ups reviewers can open. Add relevant coursework in accounting, corporate finance, or financial analysis. Keep the whole document to one page.
Are there remote corporate finance associate internships?
Yes. Remote and hybrid roles make up 70% of the corporate finance associate internship listings here, with the rest on-site. Remote cohorts fill fast because they draw applicants from across the country, so apply early and filter by work type to see them before they close.
Can international students get corporate finance associate internships?
Yes. F-1 students can intern through CPT while enrolled or through OPT work authorization after finishing a degree, and the employer does not have to file anything for either, so many companies are open to international interns. Confirm your eligibility and timing with your university's international student office before accepting an offer.
