Summer Internship - Business Analytics and Financial Modelling

Business Analytics and Financial Modelling (London office only)

Specialises in developing models to help clients understand and develop solutions to complex problems in a range of business scenarios.

What will I do day to day?

As a summer intern you will get involved in the same work as our graduate trainees. So you'll be involved in a whole variety of projects and be given real responsibility from day one.

Joining any one of our key business areas you'll work on a range of clients from FTSE 100 and global companies to smaller private firms. Your tasks will include calculations by hand, writing spreadsheets and drafting letters and reports for our clients.

You'll work alongside a number of colleagues, from recently recruited graduates to experienced partners of the firm - giving you a chance to find out about their experiences of the work we do and LCP.

What's more, we are keen to present you with opportunities to meet clients. So we'll do our best to take you along to client meetings during your internship. Then you'll see first hand what being a consultant is really about.

Training

At LCP we invest a lot of time in the training and development of our new graduates to help them progress well in their careers. We offer the same structured training and support to our summer interns.

We'll provide you with all the training you'll need for your day-to-day work. You'll also receive plenty of on-the-job training as you undertake various tasks, which we will ensure are structured to offer you the widest possible experience in all aspects of what we do.

You will be assigned a "buddy" to support you throughout your internship. They will typically be a first-year on our graduate programme, offering you a great chance to ask questions and hear their experiences with LCP - settling in, the industry, the work, the exams and of course, the social side!

Who are we looking for?
