Whether you are recruiting for Wall Street or working through coursework, Vantage Finance meets you where you are and takes you where you want to go.
Navigate the competitive landscape of high-finance recruiting with a clear roadmap and a dedicated coach in your corner. From resume building to offer acceptance, I walk with you every step of the way.
Corporate finance and valuation courses move fast. Sessions are designed to help you build a strong foundation, reinforce challenging material, and perform at your best when it matters most.
Whether you're building your technical foundation or preparing for recruiting season, the approach is the same — focused, personalized, and built around your goals.
We talk through where you stand — coursework, recruiting, or both. You leave with an honest read on what you need and a clear sense of how to get there.
We put together a plan tailored to your situation — whether that's mastering financial concepts before an exam or mapping out your recruiting timeline before applications open.
We work through it together. Sessions focus on what matters most — accounting and valuation concepts, technical and behavioral interview prep, resume, or mock interviews.
A stronger grade, a sharper interview, an offer in hand. I work with you until you get there.
Most prep resources give you content. Vantage gives you a coach who just went through the process — and everything that comes with that.

"Brandon is a knowledgeable and understanding mentor providing detailed actionable steps to grow my skillset. In addition to his extensive experience, his genuine care for my success is motivating and makes Brandon more than just a mentor, but a friend."
"Brandon was such a pleasure to work with; very knowledgeable, made explanations of complex materials concise, clear and comprehensive. I was very fortunate to have him help me in my Fundamentals of Finance class, which was extremely challenging and rigorous. I cannot recommend him enough and know he was an important part of my success over the semester."
"Brandon and I ran several mock interviews, and each session pushed me in a unique way. He didn't rely on generic questions but challenged my real understanding. His feedback was uplifting but honest. I would strongly recommend him to anyone looking for serious interview support."
"What sets Vantage apart is how personal it feels. Brandon genuinely cares, understood my background, and helped me craft a story that resonated with recruiters. I felt prepared walking into every single interview."
"Brandon was so great! He truly made the process easy and understandable. Landing an offer felt guaranteed working with him!"
"The tutoring sessions were a game-changer for my fundamentals of finance class. The cheat sheets and practice problems made everything click. I went from struggling with the material to earning one of the top grades in the course."
Choose the level of support that fits your needs. Every plan includes access to the resource library.
The first 10 Vantage clients get lifetime access to every resource I ever create, a direct message line after your first session, and your rate locked in permanently, even after prices go up. If the experience is valuable, all I ask is that you share it.
I'm a third year at Loyola Marymount University, studying Finance and Accounting, planning on graduating early in December 2026. I interned at Bank of America in their Enterprise Credit Group before accepting a Summer Analyst offer at Houlihan Lokey, and along the way, landed 40+ interviews and 6+ offers across IB, private equity, private credit, and more.
What sets me apart from other coaches is simple: I just went through it. I came from a school with no structured recruiting pipeline, no on-campus IB presence, and no built-in alumni network pulling me into interviews. I know the real superday format, the exact questions interviewers are asking right now, how the networking game actually works, and what separates the candidates who get offers from the ones who don't. This is not advice from a textbook. It is the process, fresh.
Beyond recruiting, I've formally tutored finance at LMU for two semesters, and I found that the right explanation at the right time makes all the difference. That is what Vantage is built around: real experience, real guidance, and real results.
Whether you are trying to land your first internship or just make sense of valuation concepts, I am here to make the path clearer and less intimidating one session at a time.
Everything you need to know before getting started with Vantage Finance.
Vantage Finance is built for college students and early-career professionals who are preparing for careers in investment banking, private equity, and corporate finance. Vantage also supports students in finance and valuation coursework who want to strengthen their technical foundation.
I cover corporate finance, financial statement analysis, valuation, private equity, and investment banking concepts. Sessions are tailored to your specific course material and the areas where you need the most support.
All sessions are held virtually via video call, making it easy to connect from anywhere. Each session is 1-on-1 and typically lasts 60 minutes. You will also receive session notes and action items afterward so you can stay on track between meetings. If you need to reschedule, just let me know at least 24 hours in advance and we will find a new time that works.
Most programs focus on either recruiting or academics, but not both. Vantage Finance offers personalized 1-on-1 support across both recruiting coaching and private tutoring, with built-in resources like modeling templates, cheat sheets, study guides, and practice problems all included in your plan. Plus, I just went through the full recruiting cycle myself and am very up to date on current processes.
Not at all. I work with students at every level, from those just exploring finance as a career path to those actively in the middle of recruiting. Your plan is customized to where you are today and where you want to be.
The earlier the better, especially for IB recruiting, which moves faster than most students expect. Ideally you would start preparing 3 to 6 months before applications open. That said, I have worked with students at every stage, including those who reached out mid-process. It is never too late to get sharper.
