We Give You BOTH Coaching and Top Quality Interview Prep Guides, Slides, Financial Models, and Case Studies for Corporate Development - Our 93% Success Rate Speaks For Itself

Corporate development has been a popular area to transition to for many finance professionals; the broad variety of factors such as mergers and acquisitions, corporate strategy and work-life balance are attractive to many. Traditionally, corporate development hired primarily investment bankers and management consultants, similar to private equity. Fortunately, demand has never been higher for corporate development as mergers and acquisitions and roll-ups are executed at a breakneck pace, and more and more firms are also hiring candidates from non-traditional backgrounds.

 

Corporate development interviews typically involve 3 to 4 rounds, and usually include a case study that tests your financial modeling capabilities. They also look for professionals who have strong abilities in corporate strategy and value creation, and would thrive well in a corporate environment.

 

We can help you prepare for the case study by walking you through similar case studies and testing you on case studies in a variety of industries. We will also build upon existing financial modeling concepts, teach you how to walk an interviewer through a model, and help you both ask and answer the right questions from our curated list of corporate development interview questions, both technical and fit.

  • Build a story that aligns your experiences with the needs of corporate M&A and strategy
  • Teach you the strategic elements of corporate development, such as factors to consider before entering a new market, how to account for scale, etc.
  • Help you master case studies that are more focused on operational modeling
  • Analyze and build upon the various valuation methods used in corporate M&A such as precedent transactions, DCFs, accretion / dilution analysis, and LBOs
