Build Something That Matters

We are a firm for people who are never quite finished learning — where intellectual rigour, cross-border ambition, and exceptional pedigrees converge to do work that demands the best of everyone.

Our Culture

A Firm That Rewards Curiosity Above All Else

At Majapahit Group, we believe the best advisory work is rooted in genuine intellectual curiosity. We read widely — economics, political history, legal theory, international finance — because the problems our clients bring us rarely fit neatly inside a single discipline. The advisors who serve them best are the ones who have never stopped asking why.

Lifelong learning is not a slogan here. It is the actual prerequisite. We ask our people to bring frameworks, not just answers — to understand a situation deeply before they speak to it, and to remain genuinely open to being wrong. The US–Indonesia corridor we operate in is complex, fast-moving, and perpetually surprising. Intellectual humility, paired with relentless preparation, is the only reliable edge.

We are a boutique. Every person carries real responsibility from day one. There is no room for passengers, and no appetite for work that is merely adequate. What we offer in return is the opportunity to work on genuinely consequential transactions — and to grow faster than you would almost anywhere else.

We do not look for people who know all the answers. We look for people who ask better questions than anyone else in the room — and who do the work to earn the right to ask them.

Majapahit Group — The Standard We Hold Ourselves To
Our Interns

Where the Next Generation of Advisors Gets Started

Internships at Majapahit Group are not administrative rotations. From day one, interns engage directly with live advisory work — research, analysis, client-facing materials, and the full intellectual texture of cross-border practice.

We recruit from top universities in the US and Indonesia, and we look for the same qualities in our interns that we look for in full-time hires: intellectual curiosity, strong academic formation, and genuine interest in the US–Indonesia corridor.

Who We Seek

The Profile We Hire For

Majapahit Group is a small firm doing serious work. We are selective by design — not to be exclusive, but because the nature of what we do demands people who are built for complexity, comfortable with ambiguity, and committed to continuous growth. These are the qualities we assess for in every candidate, at every level.

01 Intellectual Curiosity

The Perpetual Student

You read books outside your field. You follow threads long after they stop being professionally necessary. You find genuine pleasure in understanding how systems work — legal, financial, political, cultural — and you approach new information with openness rather than defensiveness. Curiosity, for you, is not a trait. It is a way of living.

02 Exceptional Pedigree

Top-Tier Academic & Professional Formation

We value the formation that comes from rigorous institutions — top-ranked universities, leading law firms, investment banks, global consulting firms, government agencies. Not because pedigree substitutes for substance, but because the habits of mind developed in demanding environments — precision, thoroughness, high standards — are difficult to replicate elsewhere and invaluable in this work.

03 Ambition

Driven Beyond the Obvious

You do not settle for what is merely sufficient. You identify the better answer and pursue it — even when no one is watching, even when the deadline has passed, even when good enough would have been acceptable to everyone else. You are not competitive in the destructive sense. You are driven by an internal standard that keeps pace with your own growth.

04 Cross-Border Fluency

At Home Between Worlds

Our work sits squarely at the intersection of two different legal, cultural, and financial systems. The people who thrive here are those who can move between contexts without losing precision — who understand that the same transaction can look entirely different depending on which side of the corridor you are standing on, and who bridge that gap with fluency rather than friction.

05 Principled Judgment

Strong Opinions, Held Lightly

We want people who form views — who do the analysis, reach a conclusion, and defend it clearly. But equally, people who update those views when new evidence warrants it, without ego and without theatre. Intellectual integrity means being willing to say you were wrong, and being curious enough to want to know why.

06 Ownership

No Excuses. No Passengers.

At a boutique firm, there is nowhere to hide and no incentive to. Every person carries meaningful responsibility. We seek people who take ownership — of their work, their errors, their growth — without waiting to be told. If something needs doing, you do it. If something is wrong, you say so. That is the baseline of professional trust that everything else is built on.

Practice Groups

Where You Would Work

Majapahit Group is organised into three integrated practice groups, each with a distinct mandate and client base but a shared commitment to cross-border rigour and advisory excellence. Most engagements draw on more than one group — which means that wherever you sit, you will develop fluency across disciplines far beyond your immediate focus area.

01 Practice Group

Strategic Initiatives

The Strategic Initiatives group sits at the intersection of management consulting, corporate strategy, and investment advisory. Our work here begins with a question clients often struggle to articulate — "What should we actually do?" — and ends with a rigorous, actionable answer. We help clients think clearly about where to compete, how to grow, and how to deploy capital intelligently across the US–Indonesia corridor. This is the group for people who combine analytical firepower with strategic intuition.

  • Management Consulting & Organisational Advisory Operating model design, market entry strategy, organisational restructuring, and performance improvement for Indonesian companies expanding into the US and US firms entering Southeast Asia.
  • Corporate Development M&A target identification, strategic due diligence, deal thesis development, and post-merger integration advisory for cross-border transactions involving US and Indonesian counterparties.
  • Investment Advisory & Capital Deployment Venture capital and private equity advisory, fund structuring support, LP/GP relationship facilitation, and investment thesis development for clients allocating capital across emerging markets in Southeast Asia.
  • Government & Political Advisory Regulatory strategy, government relations, political risk assessment, and public-private partnership structuring — drawing on direct government experience at the provincial level in Indonesia.
Who Thrives Here

Professionals with a consulting or investment banking background who think in frameworks, communicate with precision, and have genuine curiosity about how Southeast Asian markets work and where they are going.

02 Practice Group

Legal & Compliance

The Legal & Compliance group provides the legal scaffolding that makes cross-border transactions possible — and the compliance architecture that keeps them defensible. This is where legal precision meets commercial judgment. We do not advise clients on what the law says in the abstract; we advise them on what it means for their specific situation, their risk profile, and their objectives. This is the group for people who read legislation the way others read novels — with genuine interest in what it actually means.

  • Enterprise Risk Management Second-line risk advisory for M&A transactions, portfolio acquisitions, and cross-border deals — including risk framework design, risk identification, mitigation planning, and integration risk management.
  • Contract Advisory & Transactional Legal Support Commercial contract drafting and review, supply and distribution agreements, joint venture structuring, shareholder agreements, and cross-border transactional documentation — with particular depth in US–Indonesia bilateral contexts.
  • Regulatory Compliance & Trade Law US and Indonesian trade compliance — customs classification, export controls, OFAC sanctions screening, FDI regulatory approval (BKPM/OJK), anti-money laundering frameworks, and FATCA/FBAR reporting advisory.
Who Thrives Here

Lawyers, compliance professionals, and risk specialists with a cross-border orientation — people who understand that the law is not an obstacle to commercial activity but the architecture that makes it durable.

03 Practice Group

Finance, Audit & Tax

The Finance, Audit & Tax group provides the financial rigour that sits underneath every advisory engagement — and increasingly, as a standalone practice in its own right. We manage financial planning, treasury, transaction due diligence, and audit coordination for clients whose financial lives span two jurisdictions with meaningfully different accounting and reporting standards. This is the group for people who find beauty in a clean financial model and can spot a flawed assumption at fifty paces.

  • Financial Planning & Treasury Strategic financial planning, cash flow management, working capital optimisation, and treasury function advisory for cross-border entities — including capital structure analysis and cross-currency cash management frameworks for US–Indonesia operations.
  • Transaction Due Diligence & Financial Modelling Quality-of-earnings analysis, working capital assessment, IRR and returns modelling, and buy-side financial diligence for M&A transactions, fund investments, and infrastructure deals across the US–Indonesia corridor.
  • Audit Coordination & Assurance Advisory Financial statement preparation and audit readiness for international entities, audit coordination with licensed CPAs, and assurance advisory for investor-facing and regulatory reporting — across US GAAP and IFRS frameworks.
  • Cross-Border Tax & Reporting Advisory Advisory on cross-border tax considerations including US–Indonesia treaty benefits, withholding tax structuring, FBAR and FATCA reporting context, transfer pricing considerations, and financial reporting obligations for dual-jurisdiction entities.
Who Thrives Here

Finance professionals, accountants, and analysts with a rigorous quantitative foundation — people who are as comfortable building a financial model from scratch as they are explaining what it means to a client who has never opened a spreadsheet.

What We Offer

What Joining Majapahit Group Means

We are not for everyone. But for the right person — intellectually serious, professionally ambitious, and genuinely interested in the US–Indonesia corridor — there is no better place to grow.

Accelerated Growth

Real Responsibility from Day One

At a boutique of this size and scope, there is no waiting period before meaningful work. You will engage with actual client situations — cross-border transactions, legal structuring, financial analysis — from the outset, developing a depth of practical capability that would take years to accumulate at a larger institution.

Bilateral Expertise

Fluency in Two of the World's Most Important Markets

Working at the US–Indonesia intersection means developing genuine, bankable expertise in two distinct legal and financial systems — an increasingly rare and valuable capability. The professionals who understand both sides of this corridor are in short supply globally and high demand everywhere.

Learning Culture

An Environment That Never Stops Teaching

Every engagement is different. Every client situation requires a new configuration of legal knowledge, financial analysis, and cultural fluency. You will never be asked to do the same thing twice in quite the same way — and if the firm is doing its job, you will never stop learning how to do it better.
