KPMG Deal Advisory Case Interview
Guys,
The application procedure for KPMG's Deal Advisory Rotation Program (M&A, TS, Restructuring, Valuation, Debt Advisory) constists of (1) CV/cover letter, (2) online tests, (3) interview with recruiter and manager, and (4) superday. I'm having my superday later this week, which consists of:
- 3 interviews with mid-level executives
- 2 hours to prepare a presentation on a case
- 1,5 hours of case presentation
- 2 partner interviews
They've sent me an Information Memorandum on a company that I could use to prepare for the case. I'll get additional information during the 2 hours you get on the specific day, and no info is given on what the case is going to be about (trying to sell the company, market dynamics incentivizing you to change strategy, ..., could basically be anything).
Anyone who has experience with this? What can I do besides reading the IM?
Thanks, in advance, Pauluske
understand industry .. identify guideline comps and read their 10k
Thanks Brosef Stalin17. It is a fictitious company manufacturing and selling sauces. Got high level financial statements and the usual content of an IM. Do you have any idea what to expect? This is the first time I'm having a case interview with an IM sent out to "prepare".
Thanks
Be sure you can do a DCF (in excel) in 30 minutes based on assumptions they provide. One of the other "Big 4" had this at their superday recently.
they will probably have you value the company .. they may provide a few assumptions to model potential deal synergies...
Every case study I have been assigned was valuation based..
what office/general location are you interviewing for?
Amsterdam
Given that it is a rotation into each of the above mentioned departments, the interview could possibly cover a range of different topics, each relevant for the particular service line:
TS (FDD): focus on Net debt, WC, adjusting EBITDA, key drivers of margins etc Valuation: PPA, intangibles valuation etc M&A: DCFs, multiples, industry analysis, competitor landscape etc Restructuring: analyze reason for decline in business, ways to improve performance, possibly short-term cash flow projections (13-week CF), maybe something more on the legal side of the restructuring proceedings (US would be chapter 11, 7 etc, not sure what the dutch equivalent would be) Debt Advisory: understanding a company's capital structure etc.
Any updates regarding the outcome? would be much appreciated!
