Summary of the Job:
About This Role:
The Investment Banking Analyst Internship is the first step in Northland's investment banking career path and precedes the full-time Analyst position. Interns work on live deal teams under the guidance of Analysts and Associates, alongside senior bankers, across public equity offerings, private placements, PIPEs, convertible securities transactions, and M&A advisory engagements. The work is demanding and requires the ability to perform under pressure, meet tight deadlines, and produce accurate work on short notice. Interns build and update comparable company, precedent transaction, capitalization, and dilution analyses; prepare pitch books, management presentations, and transaction materials; conduct company, industry, and market research; and support due diligence and transaction tracking. Interns are expected to contribute meaningfully from the start, and exceptional performance is the primary pathway to a full-time Analyst offer.

- Strong command of accounting, valuation methodologies, and financial statement analysis, with the ability to articulate and defend key assumptions
- Working understanding of capital structure, including equity and debt instruments, leverage, dilution, and liquidity
- Familiarity with equity-linked securities, convertible and preferred securities, capitalization and dilution analysis, credit analysis, or other complex financing structures
- Advanced Excel proficiency and comfort working with large financial, market, and transaction data sets; experience with Python, SQL, or other analytical tools is a plus
- Demonstrated ability to conduct rigorous company and industry research and translate quantitative analysis into clear, concise client- and investor-facing materials
- Strong analytical reasoning, attention to detail, intellectual curiosity, and the ability to perform under pressure and meet tight deadlines
- Maturity and judgment to work directly with senior bankers, client executives, boards, and investors
- Demonstrated interest in investment banking and the capital markets
- SIE, Series 7, 79, and 63 required, or ability to obtain within 180 days of start

Tips for Your Investment Banking Internship Search
Apply in the fall for summer roles
Large banks and financial firms open summer analyst recruiting the preceding fall and close it well before the new year. Smaller boutiques and co-op programs post closer to their start dates. Check listings as soon as the academic year begins rather than waiting for spring, when the most structured programs are already full.
Build a financial model before you apply
Hiring teams at this stage expect limited work history, so a completed project is what moves your application forward. A three-statement model, a discounted cash flow analysis, or a written investment memo with sourced assumptions gives recruiters something concrete to evaluate. Document the tools you used and make the finished work easy to share.
Work your campus network and apply directly at the same time
Campus career fairs surface structured programs tied to your university, and career center staff often know which banks recruit from your school before roles post publicly. Applying directly to boutiques and regional firms running smaller cohorts alongside your campus activity widens the pool you reach, since many of those roles never appear at on-campus events.
Practice your technical screen out loud before interviews
Investment banking intern screens typically include accounting and valuation questions, mental math, and sometimes a short modeling or case exercise. Practice walking through your reasoning out loud rather than just arriving at answers silently, because interviewers weigh how you think through a problem as heavily as whether you get it right.
Target structured summer analyst programs early
Bulge-bracket banks, large regional firms, and diversified financial companies run cohort programs built to train candidates new to investment banking. These programs recruit early, fill fast, and often have dedicated application portals separate from general job listings. Identify the programs that match your target group and submit in the first wave of recruiting.
Set your work-type filter before you start
On-site roles are 14% of the investment banking internships listed here. Decide what you can realistically commit to before you start applying, then filter by location and work type so you are not sorting through roles you cannot take. Filtering first saves time and keeps your applications focused on positions you can actually accept.
Investment Banking Internships: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an investment banking internship?
Lead with coursework, financial modeling projects, and a portfolio rather than work history, since hiring teams expect limited experience at the intern level. A completed financial model, valuation analysis, or investment memo 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 an investment banking internship turn into a full-time job?
Many employers extend return offers to strong interns, but conversion is never guaranteed. For investment banking interns, what drives it most is the quality of your deal work, your ability to handle demanding hours without errors, and whether the team has headcount. Position for a return offer by treating every assignment as a permanent audition, without counting on the outcome.
When should I apply for investment banking internships?
Earlier than most expect. Large banks and financial firms recruit summer interns the preceding fall, often wrapping interviews before winter break. Smaller boutiques, regional firms, and co-op programs post closer to their start dates, so openings appear year-round. Check listings regularly and apply as soon as a role fits, because cohorts at structured programs fill quickly.
Are investment banking internships paid?
Most professional investment banking internships in the U.S. are paid. Compensation varies by company size, the specific group you join, and location. Where an employer discloses pay, the listing will show it. Unpaid arrangements are uncommon at banks and financial firms but do appear occasionally at smaller funds or nonprofits.
What should an investment banking internship resume include?
Lead with two or three complete, documented projects rather than work history: a discounted cash flow model, a comparable company analysis, or a written investment thesis, each with the tools used and a link or attachment showing the finished work. Add relevant coursework in finance, accounting, and economics. Keep the whole document to one page.
Are there remote investment banking internships?
Yes. Remote and hybrid roles make up 86% of the investment banking internship listings here, with the rest on-site. Remote cohorts fill fast, so apply early and filter by work type to see them before they close.
What is a summer analyst program in investment banking?
A summer analyst program is a structured, cohort-based internship run by banks and financial firms specifically for undergraduates and graduate students with no prior banking experience. Programs typically run eight to ten weeks, rotate analysts across deal teams, and recruit early in the fall. Competition is high at bulge-bracket firms, so identify target programs and apply in the first recruitment wave.
Can international students get investment banking 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.
