Houlihan Lokey SA

I have a first round interview with HLHZ corporate finance Group for SA in the LA office upcoming. I tried to search, but couldn't find much info on SA interviews. Anyone been through them? Tough technicals?

i believe there is a test for full-time analyst interviewees, but summer analysts are spared this. the test is new, wasn't there when i interviewed a few years back.

for the most part, the interview shouldn't be too bad. just your basic sa interview, maybe a tad more technical than larger banks. know dcf, wacc, capm, why banking, why hlhz, be interesting, be comfortable with basic accounting, and the 3 statements question, and you should be fine.
