Careers at FCL Capital Partners

FCL Capital Partners is a private investment firm focused on partnering with founder-led and family-owned businesses in the lower middle market. We work closely with business owners on acquisitions, recapitalizations, Buy & Build strategies, and post-transaction value creation.

We offer a small number of highly selective internship and early-career opportunities for individuals who want real exposure to private equity, M&A, and working directly with founders — not observer roles.

FCL Careers

Why Work at FCL

Direct Exposure

You’ll work directly with senior team members on live deals, industry research, and strategic analysis — not simulated case studies.

Founder-Focused Investing

Our work centers on real business owners navigating major decisions. You’ll gain insight into the human and strategic side of transactions.

Broad Skill Development

Exposure spans M&A analysis, valuation, industry research, deal structuring, and value creation — not a single silo.

High Standards, Small Team

We operate with a lean team and high expectations. Interns are treated as contributors, not assistants.

Who These Roles Are For

We are a strong fit for candidates who are:

  • Undergraduate or graduate students interested in private equity, investment banking, strategy, or entrepreneurship

  • Analytical, detail-oriented, and comfortable working with ambiguity

  • Curious about how real businesses operate — beyond financial models

  • Professional, reliable, and comfortable taking ownership of work

These roles are not designed for:

 

  • Resume-only internships

  • Large, highly structured training programs

  • Candidates looking for purely academic or theoretical work

What to Expect

  • Meaningful responsibility from day one

  • Direct feedback and high expectations

  • Exposure to confidential, real-world transactions

  • A professional, respectful working environment

  • Internship durations typically aligned with academic semesters

Compensation, structure, and hours vary by role and candidate profile and are discussed during the interview process.
