About George

I’m a Technology Investment Banking Senior Associate at Arma Partners with 8+ years’ experience across investment banking, M&A, corporate finance, and accounting. I’ve advised on multi-billion-pound technology transactions and built the strategic business plans, dynamic SaaS operating models, and valuation frameworks that drive high-stakes decisions. Before banking, I qualified as a Chartered Accountant at KPMG, working in the technology and healthcare sectors, experience that gives me a unique vantage point for coaching aspiring bankers from a variety of backgrounds. I know exactly what top firms look for - having navigated the IB recruitment process myself and served on internal hiring teams where I reviewed CVs, led interviews, and helped select incoming analyst and intern classes. Whether you’re refining your technical skills, crafting a compelling story, or trying to stand out from a non-target background, I’ve been on both sides of the table and can guide you through each step with clarity and precision. - Why work with me? - - Extensive network and insight into all major headhunters, banks, and funds - Proven expertise across IB recruitment - as both a candidate and an interviewer - Specialist knowledge of Big 4 → IB transitions, plus broader career moves into finance - Flexible schedule and responsive support, even at short notice - Tailored, detail-driven coaching designed to maximise your competitive edge

Why do I coach?

I coach because I know first hand how challenging it can be to break into investment banking. Coming from a Big 4 background, I had to build my technical skills, refine my story, and push through the competitive recruiting process before landing in IB. Along the way, I was fortunate to have mentors who gave me the right guidance at the right time, and that support made all the difference. Today, some of my most rewarding experiences have come from mentoring graduates, interns, and junior professionals, helping them sharpen their technical toolkit, build confidence, and secure offers. Coaching allows me to make the path clearer, more structured, and achievable for others who want to launch or transition their careers into investment banking.
