Careers
Join the firm
We hire rarely and invest completely. Those who join spend their early years in the room with principals rather than behind a model.
The firm is small on purpose. That is the whole of the offer: fewer people, harder problems, and no distance between you and the decision.
Small teams, senior exposure
Engagement teams are three to five people. There is no layer between you and the client, and no layer between you and the partner reviewing your work.
Apprenticeship, not throughput
You are trained by the people who sign the advice. Review is line-by-line, weekly, and directed at judgement rather than formatting.
Fewer mandates, deeper work
We take on a limited number of engagements each year. That means you finish what you start and see the consequences of your own analysis.
Ownership from the first year
Analysts own workstreams, not slides. If you built the model, you present it — including to the board.
Open positions
9 roles across four offices.
Nothing that fits? We keep speculative applications on file and review them each quarter. Write to us directly.
Career path
From analyst to partner, without a detour.
Years 1–2
Analyst
Primary research, financial architecture and workstream ownership. You will present your own analysis to clients within the first six months.
Years 3–5
Associate
Problem framing and workstream leadership. You run a piece of the mandate end to end and manage an analyst.
Years 5–8
Engagement Manager
Day-to-day ownership of the mandate and the client relationship beneath the partner. Accountability for the answer.
Years 8–11
Principal
Practice building alongside delivery. You develop the firm's point of view and originate work in your sector.
Year 11+
Partner
Ownership of the firm. Partners carry mandates personally and are accountable for advice long after it is given.
Hiring process
Six steps. Roughly four weeks.
Application
A CV and a short note on a decision you have analysed. No cover-letter template survives contact with us; write plainly.
First conversation
Forty-five minutes with a member of the practice you applied to. Your experience, and one problem discussed properly.
Case discussion
A live business problem drawn from real work, discussed rather than performed. We are testing reasoning under uncertainty, not memorised frameworks.
Written exercise
A short memo, taken in your own time. Structure, evidence and honesty about what you do not know.
Partner panel
Two partners, ninety minutes. Judgement, motivation and whether you will hold a position under pressure.
Offer
Decisions within five business days of the panel. We tell you why, either way.
Compensation & benefits
Paid properly. Protected deliberately.
Compensation
Top-decile base and bonus, benchmarked annually against elite advisory and independent banking.
Profit participation
All staff share in firm performance from year two, with partnership track from year six.
Healthcare
Fully funded medical, dental and vision for you and your dependants, in every office.
Retirement
Employer contribution of ten per cent of base, independent of your own contribution.
Time away
Thirty days of leave, protected. Weekend work requires partner sign-off, not the reverse.
Parental leave
Twenty-six weeks fully paid for all parents, with a phased and protected return.
Education
Funded graduate study and professional qualification, without a repayment lock-in.
Mobility
Cross-office placements of six to twenty-four months, available from year three.
