2025 program openings have been filled. Stay tuned for 2026 program details coming in the Fall.

 

At Waverly our intern program will introduce participants to many facets of our firm’s financial planning, operations, and investment departments, as they work on special projects. From our perspective, a successful internship will be one which provides the intern a good base knowledge of our business, gives the intern opportunities to learn, grow, and ask questions, and aids various Waverly team members over the course of the internship. Our goal is for this experience to supplement the intern’s education and for the intern to leave our firm with a good understanding of a career in wealth management.

The 2025 Internship Program has been filled, and 2026 submissions will open soon.

INTERN TESTIMONIAL

 

“In August 2021, I began my freshman year at the University of Alabama, full of excitement for what lay ahead and open to exploring various paths. While I’d always been intrigued by business and finance, I wasn’t entirely certain which career direction would align best with my skills. During my time on campus, I joined an investment management group that sparked my interest in the markets. As my sophomore year came to a close, I knew in order to be successful I would need real-world experience and a deeper understanding of the industry. I was fortunate enough to have the chance to interview and subsequently intern with Waverly Advisors over the summer. Throughout these experiences, I consistently admired the firm’s team for their genuine kindness, dedication, and care.

Throughout my tenure with the firm, I had the opportunity to delve into every aspect of their operations. I not only observed their day-to-day workings but also engaged in meaningful projects that contributed to both the firm’s goals and their clients’ needs. Consequently, I developed a comprehensive understanding of each role and how they interconnect. From the very start of my interaction with Waverly, my expectations for the summer were high, and I’m pleased to say that those expectations were consistently exceeded. I’m truly grateful for the privilege of spending two months with such an outstanding firm, one that truly embodies fiduciary responsibility. My time with the Waverly Advisors team has been an invaluable experience, full of knowledge I will take with me for the rest of my career, alongside a dedicated team of individuals who supported me every step of the way.”
