GCA’s New York office teamed up with the Volunteers of America (VOA) to help disadvantaged children have an exciting start to their upcoming school year. Our team members’ contributions provided children from homeless shelters with fully stocked backpacks and supplies to last the year. Additionally, our team had the opportunity to volunteer at VOA’s Sort Day, helping VOA collect backpacks from organizations and distribute them to children at shelters across New York City.

We are an independent investment bank focused on the growth sectors of the global economy.
Our mission is to develop long-term relationships and serve as a trusted partner and advisor to our clients. We strive to provide the highest quality, client-centric strategic advice and transaction execution expertise in the areas of mergers and acquisitions, capital markets, and other financial advisory services.
We demonstrate our unique ability to serve our clients’ global needs through a combination of highly experienced senior professionals, a worldwide network of strategic relationships and a track-record of successfully completing complex transactions across a multitude of geographies.

We consider the analyst role to be the beginning of a long-term career at our firm, and we heavily invest in the professional development of our junior team.

Our Commitment
We are committed to bringing the best people to each deal and every decision along the way. That is why we are focused on cultivating a diverse, equal and inclusive culture that helps our team and our clients grow and excel.
Our Focus
Underpinning our premier global advisory services is GCA’s culture, which celebrates diversity, entrepreneurship and high levels of performance on behalf of our clients and our own achievements.
We have taken a number of steps and made commitments for this year to promote diversity and inclusion across our global firm, including:

RecommendsPositive OutlookI have been working at GCA Advisors full-time
Pros
Great middle-market TMT transaction experience from pitch to deal completion. Lean deal teams provide junior bankers with opportunities to learn and take on significant responsibility. Friendly culture - great camaraderie from the top down; MDs are very approachable; decent work/life balance (but it's still banking so expect to work hard). The firm promotes well within. Pay at junior ranks is slightly above the street.
Cons
Not a ton of public company deals. Good buy-side exit opportunities can be challenging to obtain (viewed as mediocre within recruiter community despite strong live deal exposure).
Advice to Management
Continue to improve external brand and help junior employees find favorable exit opps (both things the firm is actively working on).
