The job consists of receiving client financials and analyzing the information from a cash flow perspective as well as providing spreads to the Relationship Managers (me). It is not an easy job but would help students connect the dots between all the knowledge learned in college and the practical application.The pay is competitive and the job offers full benefits.

Acct Opportunity for course credit and experience:
From Brooks Peacock (read attached document for details about this opportunity)
I think I will need about three (3) students for each project. If a student performs well they can participate in all three projects, but there isn’t a requirement to participate in more than one.
Each student should plan on about 30 hours of work per project. Part A will run during winter 2017, part b will run during spring 2017, and part c will run during the summer of 2017.
Part A & B will be completed here on campus.
Part C will most likely be completed on-site at Mutual of Enumclaw duringthe summer.
I want to interview each interested student either in-person or over the phone. Any interested students should contact me via email, brooks.peacock@bs.oregonstate.
Thanks again.
All the best,
