Private Equity Associate | Columbus, OH


If you are looking to leverage your M&A background into Private Equity and join a growing team in the Midwest, keep reading!


I'm partnered with a well-established Columbus-based PE firm adding an Associate to their investment team. They've been in the market for over 25 years, have a strong track record across multiple funds, and are known for providing flexible capital to lower middle market companies without getting in management's way post-close.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Build financial models and investment return analyses
  • Conduct industry and company research
  • Assist with due diligence and transaction execution
  • Assist in preparing presentations and investment memorandums for the investment committee
  • Work with the investment team on monitoring portfolio company performance, quarterly valuations, and add-on acquisitions
  • Support business development teams as needed


What They're Looking For:

  • 2-4 years in PE, investment banking, commercial banking, private credit, business valuation, or transaction advisory
  • Strong financial modeling skills and analytical instincts
  • Solid accounting and finance fundamentals
  • Comfortable managing multiple workstreams at once without losing the thread
  • Bachelor's in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field


What's In It for You:

A team that genuinely enjoys working together, a real seat at the table from day one, meaningful growth opportunities, and competitive comp and benefits.
