David N. Deutsch & Company has no “Associates Program” per se. We seek to hire smart, experienced Associates with broad-based backgrounds from other firms, to provide them with a more entrepreneurial opportunity in a more collegial environment, and to provide them with an opportunity to become partner in a well regarded investment banking boutique. Associates at our firm may also have an opportunity to participate in certain principal transactions of the firm.

Our Associates handle a high level of responsibility on transactions, in formulating advice for and communicating with clients, etc. While most traditional investment banks relegate Associates primarily to a transaction “processing” and support role, we encourage our Associates to think and add to the discussion. David is accessible, and he enjoys mentoring Associates. He wants to grow them into valuable, strategic-thinking colleagues, not merely model-building subordinates.

Job Description:
In general, our Associates are responsible for organizing and analyzing business, financial and market information, drafting documents and communicating their analysis to the team. They are expected to manage things, not merely do what they’re told. They are expected to actively participate in due diligence sessions, to oversee the work of Analysts, and to communicate extensively with clients and transaction counterparties.
