Got offered a job. Would this be considered IB?

As the title states, I've been offered a job (still at university btw, its kind of part time) at a boutique corporate advisory firm to assist a director with due diligence and valuation modelling on deals, start-ups, IPOs etc.

The firm itself has almost 50 employees, provides corporate advice (mainly M&A) to clients, share trading and consulting services to clients. Having had a look at the directors, most of them have experience as former CEOs and directorships at other big companies, however no prior IB experience which was a bit of a red flag (or is it?). They've raised over $5bn through equity raisings and advisory according to their website.

Question is, would this be classified under the umbrella of investment banking?
