Hi,

I’ve gone through a similar process with EY for an M&A case study, so I can share some insights. The 3-hour case study is designed to test both your technical knowledge and your ability to structure and communicate your approach. Here’s what to expect:
    1.    Case Structure:
    •    Initial Review: You’ll likely receive a case packet with financials, market data, and qualitative information. Allocate time upfront to analyze the materials and identify key insights.
    •    Presentation: Typically, you’ll need to prepare a short presentation (slides or verbal) summarizing your recommendations. Focus on clarity and addressing the main objectives of the case.
    •    Q&A: After presenting, the interviewers will ask follow-up questions to assess your rationale, depth of knowledge, and ability to think on your feet.
    2.    Key Skills to Showcase:
    •    Strong understanding of M&A concepts (e.g., valuation, synergies, due diligence).
    •    Analytical ability (e.g., interpreting financials, market trends, and risks).
    •    Structured thinking and clear communication in your presentation and Q&A.
    3.    Preparation Tips:
    •    Brush up on valuation techniques like DCF, multiples, and precedent transactions.
    •    Practice breaking down complex problems into clear, logical steps.
    •    Time yourself analyzing a case to simulate the pressure of a 3-hour format.
    •    Be ready to justify your recommendations with data from the case materials.

If you’re unsure about specific areas, feel free to ask. Also happy to have a coaching session to help you prepare and practice a similar format of case study. Best of luck!

Best,

Evelina

Hey!

The EY M&A case study for an Associate role in the UK typically involves financial analysis, valuation, and strategic recommendations. Expect to analyze financial statements, identify synergies, and assess risks. The 3-hour session may include individual analysis, a presentation, and a Q&A with the interviewers. Brush up on DCF, multiples, and market trends. Good luck!
