LBO Model Check for IB Interview

Hi,

I am a first-year analyst making a potential transition to IB from CRE PE. I am currently in the interview process for a middle-market IB and they have asked me to build a LBO model from scratch based on one of the several public companies provided in the test.

I am used to building CRE acquisition models and definitely recognize the similarities, but have discussed differences with friends in the IB world. I am curious if any more experienced WSOers might be willing to double check my work or provide any additional insight on how to build a relatively robust model, without being too simple or trying to do too much.

Any help is appreciated.

Best,
Hopeful IB Newcomer
