Advice - no name boutique

Hi all,

I would appreciate a bit of advice. I’m currently working in a no name boutique (team of 10) on transactions between £10m and £150m. I'm very much enjoying where I am, and enjoying the M&A world but my long term goal is to probably get into small/mid cap PE. However, I don’t think this is really achievable from my current position due to the lack of recognition for the brand.

I’ve come across a role that combines FP&A and modelling within a PE fund. It sounds like the role is split equally between LBO modelling and FP&A for the fund.

Has anyone come across this type of role? Do you think it would be a good way into the fund, to eventually move over to the investing side or am I better off trying to secure a better IB brand name?

Thanks in advance
