Dual-degree student at Arizona State University building at the intersection of rigorous financial analysis and data-driven decision making. Seeking roles in investment banking, equity research, asset management, venture capital & hedge funds.
I'm Aarya Ghule, a dual-degree Finance & Business Data Analytics student at Arizona State University's W.P. Carey School of Business, graduating August 2027.
My edge sits at the intersection of rigorous financial modeling and a genuine analytics toolkit. I've built models that got used in the real world — cash flow forecasts that extended company runway, dashboards that shaped founder decisions, budgets that cut operating costs by over 20%.
I'm targeting roles in investment banking, equity research, asset management, venture capital, and hedge funds — environments where analytical output matters, standards are high, and the learning curve is steep. Outside the desk: cars, motorsports, trading, golf.
Built a full discounted cash flow model from scratch — revenue projections compounded year-over-year, EBITDA-driven free cash flow, WACC-discounted present values, and a Gordon Growth terminal value. Outputs a complete enterprise value range across three scenarios: bear (slower growth, compressed margins, higher discount rate), base, and bull. Any input change cascades through all three simultaneously, mirroring how a real deal-team stress-tests a valuation.
Built an 8-quarter KPI pack with unit economics, a driver-based forecast, and a bear/base/bull valuation bridge, delivered with an executive memo summarizing investment findings.
Rolling 13-week cash model with scenario toggles, forecast-vs-actual variance tracking, and a liquidity risk dashboard — designed for real treasury management use.
Multi-sheet FP&A budget model connecting sales drivers to operating budgets, cash flow, and the income statement. Enables scenario sensitivity and variance insights.
Goal-based financial plan translating income/expense patterns into a monthly cash-flow structure, savings targets, and a milestone schedule with scenario adjustments.
Completing CFI's Financial Modeling & Valuation Analyst program — 3-statement modeling, DCF, comps, scenario analysis, budgeting and forecasting.
Building a full leveraged buyout model this month — debt scheduling, returns waterfall, IRR sensitivity, and management rollover structure. Core PE/IB skill.
Next up: accretion/dilution analysis, purchase price allocation, and synergy modeling for a merger case. Targeted at IB deal-team preparation.
Initiating coverage on a public company — full investment thesis, industry analysis, financial model, and a Buy/Hold/Sell recommendation with price target.
Structuring a VC-style investment memo for an early-stage company — TAM sizing, founder assessment, unit economics, competitive moat, and term sheet basics.
Actively targeting internships in investment banking, equity research, asset management, VC, and hedge funds. Available to interview immediately.
Active member of ASU's premier finance organization, engaging with industry professionals and finance-focused recruiting events.
Community-facing leader supporting residents, coordinating with RAs and professional staff, de-escalating issues, and maintaining a safe residential environment.
Led marketing strategy and campaigns to grow engagement, strengthen outreach, and improve community impact for a non-profit foundation.
I'm actively seeking Summer 2026 internship opportunities across investment banking, equity research, asset management, venture capital, and hedge funds. I'd welcome the opportunity to discuss where I can contribute immediately.
