"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 Specialist Internship Market
Who's Hiring
Tips for Your Corporate Finance Specialist Internship Search
Apply months before the internship starts
Large employers in banking, corporate development, and consulting open summer intern applications the preceding fall, often in August or September. Smaller companies and co-op programs post closer to start dates. Check openings in both windows so you do not miss structured programs by starting your search too late.
Build portfolio projects before you apply
Corporate finance specialist intern hiring is based on demonstrated ability, not work history. Build two or three documented projects, such as a discounted cash flow model, a comparable company analysis, or a budget variance report, noting the tools you used and linking to the work where possible. That gives recruiters something concrete to evaluate.
Work your campus network alongside direct applications
Campus career fairs surface structured intern 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. Apply directly to smaller companies running their own cohorts at the same time to widen the pool you reach.
Practice the corporate finance intern screen out loud
Corporate finance specialist intern interviews typically include a technical screen covering financial statement analysis, valuation concepts, or a modeling case. Practice explaining your reasoning aloud, not just arriving at the right answer, since interviewers weigh how you work through a problem as much as the final output. Run through cases with a peer who can push back on your assumptions.
Target structured rotational and analyst programs first
Many large employers in finance, banking, and corporate strategy run formal summer analyst or rotational intern programs built to train candidates new to the field. These programs recruit early, fill fast, and offer structured mentorship and project exposure. Identify the programs that match your target industry and apply in the first wave of their recruiting cycle.
Set your work-type filter before you start
On-site roles are 30% of the corporate finance specialist internships listed here. Decide what you can realistically commit to before you start applying, then filter by location and work type on Migrate Mate so you are not sorting through roles you cannot take. Locking in your criteria early saves time and keeps your applications focused.
Corporate Finance Specialist Internships: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a corporate finance specialist internship?
Lead with coursework and projects rather than work history, since hiring teams expect limited experience at the intern level. Build a documented project portfolio showing financial models, valuation analyses, or budget cases you have completed, with the tools used, so recruiters have 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 specialist internship turn into a full-time job?
Many employers extend return offers to strong interns, but conversion is never guaranteed. What actually drives it is consistent performance on real deliverables, available headcount on the team, and how early you signal interest in returning. Position yourself by treating every project as a demonstration of full-time readiness, without counting on a return offer as the default outcome.
When should I apply for corporate finance specialist internships?
Earlier than most candidates expect. Large employers, particularly in banking, consulting, and corporate development, recruit summer interns the preceding fall, with application windows opening in August and September. Smaller companies and co-op programs post much closer to start dates, so openings appear year-round and a second search in late winter or spring will surface a different set of roles.
Are corporate finance specialist internships paid?
Most professional corporate finance specialist internships in the U.S. are paid. Compensation varies by company size, industry, and location, and listings display it where the employer chooses to disclose it. Unpaid arrangements exist primarily at nonprofits or through academic credit agreements, but they are the exception rather than the standard in corporate finance.
What should a corporate finance specialist internship resume include?
Lead with two or three complete, documented projects rather than work history. For corporate finance specialist candidates, that means financial models with clearly stated assumptions, valuation analyses, or budget projections, noting the tools used (Excel, Python, Tableau) and where the work can be reviewed. Add relevant coursework in finance, accounting, or economics, and keep the whole document to one page.
Are there remote corporate finance specialist internships?
Yes. Remote and hybrid roles make up 70% of the corporate finance specialist internship listings here, with the rest on-site. Remote cohorts fill quickly because they draw applicants from across the country, so apply early once you decide what works for your situation. Use the work-type filter to see only the format you can commit to.
Can international students get corporate finance specialist 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.
