Background checks and unpaid internship job title question

Currently writing my resume and I recently did a consulting internship at this super small place. The work I've been doing involves financial analysis and due diligence for potential investments/acquisitions for a client I am working for. My job title is officially "business consultant intern", so was wondering if I could get away with changing to something better sounding like "strategy and M&A consulting intern" as that reflects the work a bit better but worried that would get dinged in a background check process. Any thoughts? For reference it's also unpaid
