Diverse projects: Summer Analysts contribute to each phase of the deal process, ensuring significant exposure to clients and senior level bankers, as well as a broad range of opportunities to grow your professional experience
Collaborative work environment: as a Summer Analyst, you will work closely with bankers of all levels, gain exposure to the entire deal process, and cultivate a foundational skillset in M&A across industry groups
Engaging culture: we believe talent is our greatest asset. Our people exemplify a team over individual culture, and participate in team-building events, both regional and companywide
Professional development: we care about your training and development. Our internship kicks off with two weeks of training, covering financial modeling and setting the foundation for the robust deal work ahead. This is just the beginning of an extensive learning experience at Harris Williams
Mentorship: Both formal and organic. Summer Analysts are assigned junior and senior mentors, who provide a support network during the internship
About the Role
We are looking for Summer Analysts to join us in London for 10 weeks starting June 2025. Harris Williams hires individuals who are motivated by challenge, demonstrated through academic performance combined with involvement outside the classroom, which can include: participation in sports, student led organisations, or work experience while completing a degree. No specific academic major is required; however, foundational knowledge of Excel, finance and accounting, and problem solving is desired:
Excel – Understanding of formulas, data validation, macros, tables, conditional formatting
Accounting – Working understanding of how the three financial statements connect and willingness to deepen subject matter expertise over time
Problem solving – Able to identify trends in data and articulate the impact of those patterns
Harris Williams fosters an inclusive culture through hiring quality people who are committed, tenacious, and principled – dedicated to achieving the right results for our clients, the right way. We are committed to building a unique firm by valuing and developing talent.

This is an “on-call” role
Answer emails and calls quickly every time

Seek feedback from your teammates/peers during and after key deliverable completion
Articulate thoughts and ideas to your teammates on day 1, both verbally and in writing
