Corporate Development Intern

Are you a college student looking to turn your classroom knowledge into real-world experience? At Perigon, our paid Summer Internship Program gives you a front-row seat to wealth management, investing, financial planning, and client service. You won’t be sitting on the sidelines—you’ll work alongside experienced professionals, contribute to meaningful projects, and gain a firsthand look at how an independent wealth management firm delivers exceptional outcomes for its clients.

At Perigon, we believe the best way to learn is by getting involved. Our internship is built around hands‑on experiences, cross‑functional exposure, mentorship, and opportunities to engage with professionals across the firm. You’ll build practical skills, expand your network, and leave the summer with a deeper understanding of financial services—and a clearer picture of where your career could take you.

Perigon Wealth Management is an independent RIA founded and led by lifelong advisors. With approximately $12.1 billion in AUM, we serve clients nationwide by combining the depth of a larger firm with the feel of a boutique, while supporting advisors who want to grow without giving up independence.

Start the summer with a deep dive into Perigon’s mission, values, business, and commitment to serving clients. You’ll learn how the pieces of a wealth management firm fit together and how each team contributes to the client’s experience and the firm’s overall growth.

Go beyond the textbook and explore the teams that make a wealth management firm successful. Gain exposure to:
Financial Planning, Investment Research, Client Services, Operations, Compliance, People & Culture, and Marketing & Business Development. You’ll gain a broader understanding of how these functions work together to support Perigon’s growth and strategic objectives.

Gain hands‑on experience supporting strategic initiatives that contribute to Perigon’s continued growth. You may assist with market research, competitive analysis, industry research, identifying potential growth opportunities, evaluating business development strategies, and analyzing trends within the wealth management and RIA landscape.

Put your skills into action by completing a meaningful capstone project over the final 8 weeks. You’ll research a business opportunity or challenge, develop thoughtful recommendations, and present your findings to firm leadership—giving you experience that mirrors the work of professionals in the industry.

Build relationships with mentors and professionals across Perigon. You’ll have opportunities to ask questions, learn from different career paths, and connect with team members at all levels of the organization.

We’re looking for more than a strong resume—we’re looking for people who are curious, driven, collaborative, and ready to make an impact. The best Perigon interns bring a roll-up-your-sleeves attitude and are willing to jump in, ask questions, and take ownership. You should be excited to learn how a business works from the inside out and comfortable stepping outside your comfort zone.
