AI is part of how we work. We use approved AI tools to support research, organize and synthesize information, develop and refine written materials, assist with analysis, and improve repeatable tasks. Team members are expected to combine these capabilities with financial knowledge and professional judgment to produce accurate, useful work efficiently.
Strong practical understanding of how to use AI in a work environment is required for this full-time internship. You should be able to structure research and analytical tasks, provide useful context, refine prompts and outputs, and check the resulting work. Examples from coursework, independent projects, or prior internships are welcome; extensive prior professional experience is not required. Be prepared to explain your approach using public or non-confidential information.
You remain accountable for every deliverable. Verify facts, sources, calculations, and assumptions; recognize unsupported or misleading outputs; and know when independent analysis or human review is required. Use only firm-approved tools and follow confidentiality and data-handling requirements. Never enter client, deal, personal, or proprietary information into an AI system without authorization. AI proficiency complements sound accounting, valuation, writing, and analytical skills.
