Corporate Finance teams are part of 'Corporate Strategy and Finance solution (CS&F;)'. CS&F; works as an innovation partner for Bain's Global strategy practice to enable cutting-edge Intellectual property (IP) / Point of view (PoV) development & commercialization and flawless client delivery. Our strength lies in our people who are experts across different aspects of the strategy topic vis-a-vis business and corporate strategy, CEO and leadership ways of working and corporate finance, backed by solid capabilities around research, analytics, and stakeholder management.
Corporate Finance team works with Bain teams across the globe with solutions to corporate finance and capital markets related aspects. Focus is on equipping the C-Suite with the right tools to shape their agenda on long-term shareholder value creation. The team conducts financial diagnostics for client companies, codifies Bain's intellectual property and contributes to new intellectual property.
however, we focus almost exclusively on Corporate Finance domain-related projects geared towards Capital Markets. Managers here get both: rigorous corporate finance delivery, and a front-row seat on the tooling that is reshaping how it gets done
Graduate or postgraduate with a specialisation in finance and a strong academic record. CFA (Level 1 passed or above) and or CA preferred; CA candidates should have meaningful exposure to capital markets or valuation. Advanced Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint assumed
- 8-11 years of relevant experience in investment banking, equity research, or consulting with corporate finance exposure (6-9 years if your highest qualification is postgraduate)
- Strong command of financial statement analysis, ratio analysis, and underlying valuation principles. You can trace how a change in one financial metric flows through the statements and into valuation, and read financial data for what it means: why growth, margins, returns, multiples or leverage look the way they do, and the competitive dynamics sitting behind them
- Should have created financial models from scratch rather than updating set templates, with the focus on strategic choices and their impact on valuation rather than valuation mechanics alone
- Able to cross-link business models and industry dynamics, using the key drivers and KPIs behind operational and financial performance to generate a compelling equity story with a focus on the 'so what'
- Be ready to point to specifics: an analysis or deliverable you materially accelerated using tools such as Claude or ChatGPT, a prompt or workflow you designed and handed to colleagues, or a manual process you removed
- Exposure to Python, financial data APIs, or building lightweight tools all count. Prior experience managing and leading teams: allocating and reviewing work, coaching and mentoring, conducting performance discussions,
and writing appraisal reviews
- Direct the team on corporate finance and capital markets projects and case delivery, owning close relationships with Partners, Bain case teams, and practice areas
- Working with the CoE Director, lead 2 teams of Project Leads, Associates and Analysts to produce client-ready research and insights, and drive the team's overall answer, final materials, client communication, and work planning. Teams conduct financial diagnostics for client companies, codify Bain's intellectual property, and contribute to new IP
- Own quality end to end: select the right analytical approach for the question, pressure-test the logic, and hold an error-free bar across every workstream
- Apply tools such as Claude and ChatGPT along with proprietary CF AI tools to accelerate research, analysis and drafting; help the team adopt them well and safely; and feed real delivery experience into the AI tools the CoE builds
- Coach and develop the team: give meaningful, actionable feedback in every interaction, run performance discussions, write appraisals, and build people towards leadership roles on BCN teams
- Contribute to the wider BCN agenda through recruiting (on-campus, industry and other channels), training, resource planning, and business strategy initiatives
