Live modelling under fire

LBO, QoE, NWC: these models are tested live — no safety net, no pre-built Excel

Some M&A boutiques and PE funds require live modelling during the interview: build a normalised NWC analysis or a net debt reconciliation table from raw data. Without having practised these exercises under real conditions, failure is almost certain.

candidates who have never practised live modelling exercises freeze in the first 10 minutes of an Excel test during an M&A boutique interview.

Perguntas frequentes

  • Which Excel modelling exercises are tested in Transaction Services interviews?
    The most common modelling exercises in TS interviews are: building a normalised EBITDA bridge, analysing net debt and NWC from raw data, and EV-to-equity reconciliation. Some M&A boutiques also test simplified LBO models or sensitivity analyses.
  • How do you pass a live Excel test in a Transaction Services interview?
    The key is prior practice under time pressure. Transaction Services Training modelling exercises replicate real conditions — raw data, timer, no visible solution. The exact format of expected deliverables is taught so that structure becomes instinctive on the day.
  • Do you need to know VBA or macros for TS modelling exercises?
    No. TS interview modelling exercises do not require any macros. Formulas used are SUMIF, INDEX/MATCH, VLOOKUP and some conditional formulas. The challenge is execution speed and structural rigour — not technical sophistication.
  • Do Transaction Services Training modelling exercises match the level expected at M&A boutiques?
    Yes. Transaction Services Training exercises are calibrated to the level required at M&A boutiques and Big 4 firms for a junior profile. Difficulty is progressive — from guided exercises to real-conditions cases — to build the fluency and execution speed expected.
  • What Excel level is needed before tackling Transaction Services modelling exercises?
    An intermediate level is sufficient. Transaction Services Training exercises use standard functions — SUMIF, INDEX/MATCH, pivot tables — with no macros or VBA. The value is in structural logic and execution speed, not formula sophistication. The training explains every step.
  • How long does a Transaction Services Excel modelling exercise take in real conditions?
    Transaction Services Training exercises are calibrated to 30 to 90 minutes depending on complexity level — matching the time allocated in a real live test interview. Regular practice builds the speed needed to complete a full EBITDA bridge under pressure.
  • Why does Transaction Services Training modelling prepare you better for interviews than practising Excel alone?
    Self-practice produces models without a professional reference. Transaction Services Training exercises teach the exact expected format — tab structure, comment level, formatting — and provide corrections that identify presentation errors, not just calculation errors.
