Resume guidance needed before submission tomorrow

Hi all,

I need help with deciding whether the parentheses section next to XYZ firm is needed, as I believe it provides clarity to the company since it is smaller, think a family shop. Currently, my resume has an incoming work experience as follows:

XYZ Firm (Boutique Private Equity Broker-Dealer) | City, State                     Starting month 2025

Incoming Private Equity Summer Analyst

Is the parentheses acceptable or should I take it out?
