REPE acquisition case study

Hi everyone. I am in the 2nd stage of an internship process with a middle market REPE firm. This phase is a case study. According to the recruiter, it will be an acquisition case with 3 deliverables. An excel model, a PPT presentation, and MS word summary. I have 48h to finish everything, and the model needs to be delivered 24h in. Since they are giving me 24 hours to finish the model I would assume that it's nothing too hard, but I don't know for sure. I have 2 days to prepare before receiving the files.

Based on this info, I'll prepare with brushing on M&A and LBO modelling as well as real estate and operational modelling. Needless to say it's going to be an uphill battle with insanely high stakes. According to the recruiter it's now down to 6 out of 800 applicants.

What do you think I should revise? Any tips and advice would be really appreciated!

“Rachel helped me through the very beginning and we had several iterations that were crucial to the development of a better and great CV for applications. I appreciate her patience and puntual feedback every single time. Also the response time was very short and kept me aware of any delay. It kept me on line for what I had to do and some areas to focus that I didn't knowe before, and some of them honestly I didn't have any idea. Very well all around work”

“Julius was extremely helpful in breaking down the accounting concepts, especially allowing me the opportunity to walk through a question step by step on how the three financial statements are impacted across income, cash flow and balance sheet along with figuring out the mental math for it all. The concept for Equity Value to Enterprise value and bridging between the two were fairly straight forward. Along with the networking advice on reaching out to potential recruiters for Investment banking roles and how lateral recruitement is happening year end vs going into Q1 next year.”
