Crash Course Reading for Job Opp

I've got an opportunity to interview with a boutique firm to work on a buy side project as a trial of sorts. I've got a solid resume: Big 4 experience, 2 stints as CFO of companies sub $30 mil in top line, one of which we grew from 200k to 30 mil in less than 3 years.

Some may see this a step back, but Ibanking is where Ive always wanted to be. I have limited deal experience, but am familiar with most the concepts and verbage.

What would you recommend reading/studying if you had week to prepare for an interview like this? Thanks in advance.
