Universities we work with

Why we exist

We believe every ambitious student can make it into finance.

Most are never told how it works. Applications open a year earlier than students expect, the language is unfamiliar, and the ones who get in usually knew someone who’d done it.

Talent isn’t the gap.
Information and preparation are.

So we give every student the plan, the timing and people who’ve done the job.

How it works

From first call to first offer

  1. 1TodayFree 30-minute callAn honest view of where you stand and what fits, with a parent if you’re under 18.
  2. 2Within 24 hoursYour written planThe programme, the timeline, your target firms and the offer it prepares for.
  3. 3ThenOne-to-one with practitioners60-minute sessions, set tasks in your portal, your Desk-Ready Score at the start, middle and end, a practitioner mock, and a written update for parents every month.
How the route works

Each step opens the next

Most families only hear these words once a deadline has passed. Top firms hire their graduates from their own interns, so the route starts years before the job. Here it is in plain English, with the programme for each step.

Programmes from £1,950, paid in full. Your free call and written plan tell you which one you need, and why.

What if you don’t get an offer?

Rejection is part of finance recruitment, even for people now on top desks. No one can honestly guarantee an offer, and we won’t. If you attend your sessions, complete your set tasks and apply to your agreed list, and the cycle doesn’t land, your plan, portal and support continue into the next cycle at no extra cost. Full refund if you cancel before coaching starts.
