If you're interviewing for the FP&A side, you're going to be doing mostly FP&A if not all FP&A. I interviewed there some time ago, interview process was good and the people were chill. They tried to pitch the IB/FP&A blend but unless the position is clearly defined as investment banking,  you're mostly like going to be focused on the FP&A "Consulting." There aren't many banks in the area, Angle advisors (bad pay, good people), Cascade (better pay but still not good, good people), UHY (bad pay and also bad culture). I am not in that area anymore but there are a few more banks I can't name off the top of my head. 

 

There are a number of decent banks in the metro Detroit area. Most of these spots go to sophomores from Michigan or sophs/juniors from MSU, though there are always some people from other schools both in the Midwest and not. As far as I know, FINNEA does pay but not much. However, it is one of the few metro D banks that pay. I believe (as above) that Cascade pays decently but it might be the outlier (they work you like a slave though). Perhaps the most notable of the Detroit area banks is DPP, which does not pay. Lorient is also notable and doesn’t pay.

FINNEA is generally competitive to land and will ask some techs but they aren’t bad. Not sure about the modeling test but my buddy who couldn’t model too well got to their final round.
