Master the restatements that matter in TS interviews

Adjustments are the most tested topic in Transaction Services interviews — and the one where most candidates fail for lack of methodology. This module covers the three QoE pillars: earnings normalisation (non-recurring charges, IFRS 16, management fees), Net Debt bridge construction, and normalised NWC analysis, with 150+ restatements broken down line by line from real transaction examples.

The adjustment trap

Knowing EBITDA theory is not enough: TS recruiters test QoE methodology

EBITDA adjustments, net debt normalisation and working capital analysis are the three most frequently tested topics in Transaction Services interviews. Most candidates can define these terms — but fail as soon as they are asked to apply Quality of Earnings methodology to a real case.

Domande frequenti

  • What is an EBITDA adjustment in Transaction Services?
    An EBITDA adjustment is a restatement applied to historical results to reflect the normalised, recurring performance of the business. In Financial Due Diligence, this includes eliminating one-offs, normalising management compensation and restating non-recurring costs following Quality of Earnings methodology.
  • How is QoE (Quality of Earnings) evaluated in a Transaction Services interview?
    TS recruiters test the ability to identify, categorise and justify adjustments on a real dataset. They evaluate approach as much as result: does the candidate start from the right signals? Ask the right questions? Structure the analysis professionally?
  • What is the difference between an EBITDA adjustment and EBIT normalisation in Due Diligence?
    An EBITDA adjustment covers results before depreciation and interest. EBIT normalisation also incorporates depreciation and amortisation. In FDD practice, most work centres on adjusted EBITDA, but some mandates also require EBIT or EBITA analysis depending on the sector.
  • How many typical EBITDA adjustments should you know for a Big 4 TS interview?
    The Transaction Services Training programme covers 150+ real adjustments across categories: one-offs, structural normalisations, acquisition pro-formas, IFRS 16 restatements, crypto and SaaS add-backs. Mastering the 15 to 20 most frequent ones is enough to pass the majority of interviews.
  • Do you need prior accounting experience to master EBITDA adjustments?
    A basic accounting foundation helps understand restatement logic, but is not essential. The Transaction Services Training adjustments module starts from core concepts — what is a one-off? — before increasing in complexity. Candidates with no accounting background regularly pass interviews after completing this module.
  • How many hours does it take to master the Transaction Services Training EBITDA adjustments module?
    Allow 3 to 5 hours of focused study to cover the courses and associated exercises. Real mastery comes from repeated practice on guided exercises and quizzes. Most candidates reach interview level within 1 to 2 weeks.
  • Does the Transaction Services Training adjustments module cover sector-specific cases missing from standard training?
    Yes. The programme includes adjustments specific to SaaS models (ARR, churn, LTV), seasonal businesses, IFRS 16 entities and crypto add-backs. These sector cases are rarely covered in generalist training but appear regularly in TS interviews.
