I joined HVA through an off-cycle internship, drawn by its strong culture of recognizing soft skills and developing hard skills. Although I didn’t come from a traditional finance background, HVA provided the tools, training, and support I needed to quickly get up to speed and become a valuable member of the team.

At Harbor View, interns are integrated into deal teams from day one, working side by side with analysts on meaningful work that directly impacts our clients. I found the fast-paced environment and high-impact nature of the projects both engaging and energizing. But what ultimately set Harbor View apart for me was the people. The time and genuine effort that everyone - from analysts to partners - invests in the internship program and in each intern’s growth is unmatched. By the end of the summer, I knew I wanted to be a part of the HVA team.

"When the flower blooms, the bees come uninvited." – Rumi Harbor View reflects this sentiment — fostering deep learning through hands-on experience. You’ll develop both technical and interpersonal skills, gain exposure to unique transactions, diverse business models and industries, and work across all segments of the deal process. It’s not theoretical — it’s actionable. A great place to learn, grow, and make an impact in a boutique setting.
Cameron Bruce
The HVA internship gave me a true summer analyst experience—working on live deals, building pitch decks and CIMs, and contributing to market research and quarterly reports. It made the transition into a full-time investment banking analyst role smooth and equipped me with the skills to contribute from day one.
Carson Lubin
From day one, I was part of a team that genuinely values people, trusts you to take ownership of meaningful projects, and invests in your growth and professional development.
