Mercer Capital seeks talented individuals who want to develop a meaningful career in finance at an established and growing firm for our eight-week summer internship program.

The Mercer Capital summer internship program provides you with exposure to the valuation of business and securities for the purposes of financial reporting, dispute resolution, employee stock ownership plans, and estate planning, among other things. This position provides a unique opportunity to further your professional development while still in college by working with talented and committed senior professionals. As a summer intern, you will gain a broad range of corporate finance experience working closely with one of our industry teams and/or service groups.

Mercer Capital uses the internship program as a component of the full-time financial analyst recruiting process. The internship provides an opportunity for candidates to become familiar with Mercer Capital and demonstrate the skills and characteristics Mercer Capital seeks in full-time financial analyst hires.

The creative, intellectual, and entrepreneurial environment at Mercer Capital rewards smart, talented, inquisitive, and self-motivated individuals who are looking for a challenge.

Responsibilities of the Position

You will be assigned to work with one of Mercer Capital’s industry and/or service groups on strategically important analytical projects. Duties primarily include industry research and internal development projects, such as identifying target industries, evaluating industry opportunities, and developing platforms from which to build expertise. Interns will also have responsibilities and training similar to that of new, full-time analysts, including support of client valuation engagements, company analysis, financial performance analysis, report drafting and other activities.

Qualifications

  • Juniors pursuing a Bachelor’s degree (GPA of 3.5 or higher).
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Excel, PowerPoint, Word) required.
  • Outstanding writing, quantitative, and communication skills are required. The position is both writing and spreadsheet-intensive.
  • Must be eligible to work in the U.S., without employer sponsorship, at the time of hire and in the future.

Compensation and Benefits

Compensation

Mercer Capital is a platform for personal and professional growth even for our summer interns. We offer a very competitive hourly wage for summer interns.

Work-Life Balance

Mercer Capital believes in work-life balance for all our people, including our summer interns. An internship is a 40-hour per week position. You will not be expected to work overtime.

Culture & Social

Mercer Capital is very proud of its firm culture which is collaborative, supportive, and one of continual learning. We plan social events throughout the summer to allow you to meet as many of us as possible so you can get a sense of who we are. While we take our work very seriously, we don’t take ourselves all that seriously.

Professional Development

As part of your internship, you will participate in the same, albeit truncated, valuation training as our new financial analysts. In addition, you’ll learn to use the following databases: S&P Capital IQ, Bloomberg, and GF Data, among others. You’ll also contribute to client engagements in the industry or service group you are supporting as appropriate.

Location

  • Memphis, Tennessee

This is an in-office position.
