Carter Phillips
Private Equity Intern Analyst at Prescient Consulting Group
Tallahassee, United States
I am a Private Equity Intern Analyst supporting founder-led startups from seed through Series B, focusing on research that strengthens investment decisions. I evaluate opportunities by analyzing company backgrounds, market positioning, growth potential, competitors, and key risks, and I contribute to pitch discussions and early-stage due diligence. I am also completing a dual Bachelor of Science in Finance and Accounting at Florida State University, where I have earned a 3.5/4.0 GPA, Dean’s List recognition each semester, and multiple scholarships including Vire’s and Bright Futures. I also earned AP Scholar with Distinction and work through self-study in valuation and deal modeling. Outside of investing, I build strong communication and operational discipline through my role at Capital City Country Club, supporting daily golf cart and pro shop operations in a fast-paced environment. Through leadership roles on the Interfraternity Council Judicial Board and the Seminole Student Boosters Leadership Council, I sharpen risk management, accountability, governance, and professional representation in real organizational scenarios.
