Interview

Decode a real Transaction Services interview case study

The case study is the centrepiece of the TS interview — and the hardest to prepare for without access to real formats. A case study used in actual Big Four and boutique TS firm interviews is fully decoded: expected structure, calculations, conclusion phrasing and common traps.

The real interview pressure

Without a real-conditions simulation, you freeze in front of a Big 4 manager

Knowing the theory and performing under the pressure of an EY or Deloitte manager are two completely different things. Candidates who have never simulated an interview under real conditions — timing, follow-up questions, managing silence — systematically panic. Real-conditions training is the only way to eliminate this risk.

O que vais aprender

Decode a real Transaction Services interview case study

módulos 1

Authentic format: 45 minutes, Excel, open-ended questions

The case matches the real Big 4 TS interview format: 45 minutes timed, Excel dataset with three-year income statements and simplified balance sheet, open-ended questions on earnings quality, net debt and analytical red flags. No artificial staging — you know exactly what to expect on the day, including the stress, recruiter silence and timing.

02Étape 2
módulos 2

Step-by-step decoding with explicit reasoning

Every section is solved in detail: why this precise calculation, why this phrasing in the conclusion, what the interviewer is actually assessing behind each open question. You learn that 'what are the risks for the buyer?' is an invitation to identify QoE elements that weigh on valuation — not a general question. This decoding distinguishes the candidates who succeed.

módulos 3

Variants, traps and follow-up questions anticipated

Frequent variations are addressed: what to do when data is partially missing, how to handle a manifestly contestable restatement, how to answer a destabilising follow-up like 'and if this add-back were rejected, what would the impact on EV be?'. These scenarios are precisely what Big 4 managers use to test your analytical solidity under pressure.

Perguntas frequentes

  • What is a real case study in a Big 4 Transaction Services interview?
    A real case study is an exercise where the candidate analyses a financial dataset inspired by a real transaction, then presents conclusions to a manager or director. It tests technical mastery, communication and stress resistance simultaneously.
  • How do you prepare for a real Financial Due Diligence case study?
    The only effective preparation is simulation under real conditions: working through full cases under time pressure, then practising defending conclusions verbally. Transaction Services Training modules replicate this format with detailed corrections and presentation guidelines.
  • How long does a real case study last in a Big 4 TS interview?
    In an individual interview, the analysis phase typically lasts 30 to 60 minutes, followed by a 10 to 20-minute presentation. In an assessment centre, the format can span half a day with more complex data and multiple interviewers.
  • Do Transaction Services Training real case studies replicate Big 4 interview conditions?
    Yes. Transaction Services Training case studies are designed to replicate the pressure and format of real interviews — raw data, expected detail level, professional presentation format. The model correction indicates the reasoning expected by an EY, Deloitte, PwC or KPMG manager.
  • What level is required before tackling the Transaction Services Training real case study?
    The real case study is the most advanced module in the programme. It assumes mastery of EBITDA adjustments, NWC normalisation and net debt reconciliation. It is designed as the final test before a real TS interview — not an entry point.
  • Is the Transaction Services Training real case study presented verbally or only in written form?
    Transaction Services Training includes both formats. The analysis phase is written — Excel and memo. The presentation phase is verbal: the module provides guidelines for defending your conclusions under scrutiny, anticipating follow-up questions.
  • How does the Transaction Services Training real case study differ from a standard Financial Due Diligence exercise?
    The real case study integrates technical dimensions — adjustments, NWC, net debt — AND qualitative ones: risk articulation, memo structure, verbal communication. It is the most complete simulation available before a real Big 4 TS interview.
