PE Secondary Advisory modelling?

I’m applying for a PE secondary advisory role at a placement agent. They advise on both GP and LP led deals. The job description states that the role will involve a significant amount of financial modelling and wondered if anyone could confirm what type of modelling it will involve?

For your reference, here are the responsibilities the job spec states:

- building complex financial models

- performing cash flow analysis including waterfalls

What specifics do you think this means? thanks.

Exactly as m8 said, full-blown operating models with a GP/LP IRR and MOIC calculation on top (which is the waterfall being referred to).
