Kwaw Tumi CPA Associate Private Equity Valuations SGGG FSI.
FSE empower their candidates to not only successfully land the more hard to secure positions but also excel in them
After a few weeks with FSE, I found that the learning curve was drastically shortened when I started working in the hedge fund/private equity space.The entire process at FSE is very streamlined and designed around the candidate. I recommend them 100% to anyone looking for a head start!
Penny He CFA Manager Hedge Funds Citco
I was able to acquire a position as an associate in a private equity team immediately
I am a CFA charter holder and having worked in the asset administration industry for over a decade. I was looking for a different direction from hedge funds. FSE equipped me with what I was missing. Without their support and specialized skill set, I don’t believe I would be able to secure a position on the private equity side as fast as I did.
Humza Ghazanfar Manager Client Servies Citco
FSE becomes fully invested in the candidates they develop, transitioning them into roles and also ensuring they succeed
After staying in a position for two years, it became apparent that I was accumulating the wrong experience. The role development I acquired with FSE was very hands on, personally and professionally. Within a few weeks I accepted an offer for a P&L Valuations position with a global institution. In just over three years, I now work as a manager.

Working with FSE gave me a first-hand experience of technicalities but also helped me think clearly about what I wanted to do in life.
After I graduated, I applied to many positions in the financial market but I was ineffective. I got in touch with FSE and they helped me grow professionally. They are very skilled and know a great deal about capital markets, up to date and well integrated in the industry.
