Max Bakker supported Clifton Finance as a corporate finance/M&A intern during the hectic period of his graduation. Below, Max briefly explains how he experienced his period as an intern at Clifton Finance. “During the internship period at Clifton Finance, I was able to learn about the corporate finance profession and the M&A process in a relatively short period of time. Before joining Clifton Finance, I had done an internship at a large bank, so I found it interesting to experience how processes are set up at a company consisting of a smaller team. My internship period was quite busy for me personally, as I combined the internship with completing my Master’s degree and the application process for my first job. A flexible attitude of Clifton Finance regarding these pressures helped me a lot to successfully complete all of that. From a professional point of view, I wanted to gain more knowledge about how the M&A process works. On this I was surprised at Clifton Finance, as the hands-on approach and the effect of the personal involvement of team members was different from what I expected beforehand. This also helped for my personal development, as it gave me the opportunity to experience all the different facets of a transaction up close. Furthermore, ample time was taken to think with me about what my strengths and areas of focus were, something I found valuable for my personal development. I look back on an instructive period at Clifton Finance, and can certainly recommend an internship with the company. I will certainly be able to use the experiences I gained in the future during my new job at KPMG Corporation Finance.
Isak supported Clifton Finance as a student intern in corporate finance. Below Isak tells how he experienced his period as an intern at Clifton Finance. “For six months I supported Clifton Finance and learned a lot. I was welcomed with open arms and the working atmosphere is incredibly pleasant. Because of the ‘hands-on’ work ethic at Clifton Finance, I got to know the corporate finance field in a very different way than in the lecture halls. It is extremely instructive to gain practical experience and the colleagues are always ready to answer any questions. Personal development also receives attention and as a result I am better prepared for a job in the future. There is regular contact with the former trainees which gives me an additional network. Besides my time at Clifton Finance, I practice rowing at top level. Clifton Finance has been flexible and has supported my ambitions in the field of sports. It is precisely in this area of sport that I will be operating next year alongside my studies.
