Job description
Redtire Program Finance Analyst Student Intern | University of Kansas
RedTire is a KU School of Business venture designed to enhance the economic well-being of Kansas and the surrounding states. The program finds the most suitably qualified candidate buyers to match with a successful small- to medium-sized business, preventing the shuttering of the business due to a lack of an owner successor. RedTire assists in successfully transitioning the business to new ownership and relies on University of Kansas (KU) student interns for the financial analysis and valuation modeling phases of the process. The KU student analyst's first objective is to provide assistance to the RedTire Director so that quality business and technical consulting assistance to RedTire clients is provided. Secondly, the aim of the role is to also provide an excellent experimental learning opportunity to the KU student. They will work on 'live real-world' case scenarios to successfully transition a business from a retiring owner by redefining their retirement to a new, younger owner who will acquire their business. The position works on-site at Capitol Federal Hall and will receive $10.25 per hour during the initial training period. Ideal candidates will continue in the role for multiple semesters and receive increasing wage adjustments for returning semesters, commensurate with performance.

Applying academic valuation techniques to a live company and learning other small business valuation techniques that are not generally taught in the academic accounting or finance classroom.
Obtaining direct experience and insight into how the deal process works.
