About The Position

At BBH, Partnership is more than a form of ownership—it’s our approach to business and relationships. We know that supporting your professional and personal goals is the best way to help our clients and advance our business. We take that responsibility seriously. With a 200-year legacy and a shared passion for what’s next, this is the right place to build a fulfilling career. BBH is seeking an Associate for the Corporate Advisory Group (CAG) which advises owner-managers and family-owned businesses on mergers and acquisitions, financing transactions, and other strategic corporate decisions. The CAG Associate is a corporate finance professional that assists the team in performing company/industry research and valuation analyses to develop or enhance relationships with private business owner clients and prospects of BBH’s Capital Partners line of business. The job scope is like a traditional investment banking analyst role. The role requires familiarity with corporate finance and business strategy consulting-oriented work, with an emphasis on understanding mergers and acquisitions, valuation, capital structure, and related aspects of finance/corporate strategy. The ideal candidate should have superior analytical skills and be able to express their thoughts clearly. The CAG Associate will report to a CAG officer but will assume a hands-on role in a team environment and interact with various other groups within Capital Partners and the firm more broadly (e.g., Private Wealth Management, Investment Management, Lending, Private Equity), as well as with external parties such as senior business executives and intermediaries.
