Investment Banking Analyst
About The Position
FMI Corporation is seeking a talented professional to join FMI Capital Advisors, the firm's investment banking group and registered broker-dealer. For more than 70 years, FMI has been the leading consulting and investment banking firm exclusively serving the built environment. Our analysts make meaningful contributions to live transactions from day one, supporting multiple M&A deal teams and playing an integral role on every engagement. Clients hire FMI because of our unparalleled industry expertise, deep sector relationships, and access to leading firms. The Investment Banking Analyst role is a generalist position supporting transaction execution and business development across sell-side and buy-side M&A, private capital placements, and ESOP advisory engagements. Successful candidates begin with a four-week formal training program alongside a cohort of analyst peers before gaining experience across nine specialized sub-sector teams located across four offices. Unlike many investment banking analyst programs, FMI offers early responsibility, meaningful client exposure, and the opportunity to develop deep expertise within the built environment. Analysts gain experience across multiple industry sectors and transaction types while working alongside senior bankers in a collaborative, apprenticeship-style environment designed to accelerate professional growth. Successful Investment Banking Analysts at FMI are analytical, intellectually curious, and committed to producing exceptional work. They take ownership, communicate proactively, collaborate effectively across deal teams, and continuously develop their technical and professional skills in a demanding, high-performance environment. Advancement to the Associate role is highly selective and earned through consistently outstanding performance, technical excellence, and demonstrated readiness—not tenure. As part of our investment in professional development, FMI provides dedicated study time, training resources, and covers the cost of obtaining the required FINRA Series 79 and Series 63 licenses.
