Technical Interview Study Guide
Knowing what a DCF is and being able to walk someone through one are different skills.
Technical rounds test the latter.
This guide covers the concepts a finance technical interview draws from — valuation, financial ratios, M&A, and accounting — and includes the exact step-by-step walkthroughs you’ll need to master for the day of.
Valuation — the DCF, start to finish, terminal value, and the enterprise-to-equity bridge
Financial ratios — liquidity, profitability, efficiency, solvency, and DuPont
M&A — accretion/dilution, synergies, buyer types, and how an LBO differs
Accounting — how the three statements connect
Walkthroughs — how to explain a DCF and an LBO
