Hi,
In a couple of days, I will have to do a written case (2hr prep, 1 hr presentation) for a consulting firm. This is with the firm's private equity performance improvement group (focuses on pre and post-integration strategies of portfolio companies), and will involve a mix of financial modelling and traditional case consulting. Does anyone have any experience in this type of exercise and resources I could use to practice? Thank you!

Hi,
Usually, in PEs these cases will be much more detailed in financial part. Depending on the company you'll need to:
- Find the relevant information in P&L and Balance sheet
- Do the simplified valuation using NPV: calculate cash flows and make assumptions about growth rate and discount rate
- Do the valuation using comps - you'll have to explain which comps you will use and why
Good luck!
