About C2
C2 Private Wealth is a family-owned independent Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) founded over 20 years ago. We deliver comprehensive financial planning by integrating tax, investment, insurance, and estate strategies into one coordinated process. Our firm is built on a culture of teamwork and a deeply held drive to improve the lives of our clients.
About Our Internship Program
The C2 Internship Program is designed for students who want to learn and contribute in a high-performing work environment where care, accountability, and ownership are the standard. Interns are given meaningful responsibilities from day one and are expected to think critically, ask questions, and deliver work that meets professional standards.
Our goal at C2 is to provide a world class internship experience. Each intern is paired with a mentor, participates in an internal Lunch & Learn series on markets, planning, and firm operations, and completes a capstone project that addresses a real business challenge. The program provides hands-on experience and the opportunity to learn quickly.
