Big 4 vals -> IB/CD resume advice
Hi everyone,
For those you used to work in BVal before making the jump to IB or Corp Dev, how can I write about my project experience to be more appealing to M&A professionals? I'm particularly confused about the PPA experience - what points should I emphasis to make it sound like it's more forward looking? Note that the below projects except PPA aren't the norm, but more one-off projects.
· Selected transaction/project experience:
o Private company (Pre-merger analysis)
* Assisted in building a dynamic DCF model of three proposed merger scenarios, incorporating cash flow and CCA tax shield projections, and the potential synergies under each scenario
* Performed due diligence over Management’s forecast assumptions, by analyzing historical revenue and expense trends at the individual entity levels
* Prepared a slide deck to advise the client on potential issues to address in the new corporate structure
o Private company (Purchase price allocation)
* Completed the purchase price allocation for a cross-border asset acquisition, by preparing DCF models to value the different intangible assets and goodwill, and the resulting taxable benefits
* Gained insight into transaction rationale and the deal structure (locked-box mechanism) through analysis of the asset purchase agreement, company presentations, and conversation with the client
o Public international company (Subsidiary modelling project)
* Conducted economic and industry research to identify key trends and risk factors in the region manufacturing markets, including economic impacts from COVID-19
* Currently working with the client to build a full-blown 3-statement pro-forma operating model of its international subsidiary, with detailed revenue and COGS drivers for the two product lines
Any tips would be much appreciated!
