Boutique Valuation Advisors Internship interview

Hey Guys,

So all the cold emailing finally paid off. I landed an interview for a part-time fall internship at a boutique valuation advisory firm in NY being from a non target. Assuming this will be my first technical interview, I was just looking for some advice on what to be ready for.

So far I have been seeing / preparing for:

Connect financial statements (Comparable Company, DCF, Precedent Transaction) 3 Valuation methods Walk me through a DCF (Include FCF WACC EBITDA) Debt or Equity or a Mix? Enterprise value vs equity value vs Total invested capital Beta & CAPM

And then the typical resume / last time failed / disagreed types of questions.

Any other insight?
