Corporate Finance 7 Stories Review

“Raphael was once again great, we worked on TMAY and 4 stories dillgently. He helped me restructure my stories and gave me good points of improvement. Given that I am not the typical student looking to break into finance there is a learning curve that Raphael is helping me navigate well. I left this chat with more information to improve and honestly motivated once again to continue. This is the second time I book a meeting with Raphael and I will continue to book more meeting with him in the near future. ”

“Benjamin helped me greatly with my career planning. He was able to lessen my worries about which industry path to pursue and provided incredibly practical, actionable advice. Together, he helped built a clear, realistic plan for my next steps moving forward. Beyond the strategic guidance, he made the conversation very engaging, enjoyable, and fun while offering valuable long-term mentorship insights. I feel much more confident about my professional direction and am extremely grateful for his thoughtful support!”

Accounting treatments (ie. Working Capital) and DCF. If you are working for a public company - market approach.

Nothing crazy - typically CD you won't be working on anything too crazy, maybe some complex cap structures.
