EY-Parthenon Manager Case Interview - Liquidity & Working Capital

Hi all,

I have been progressed to the next stage of the application process i.e., case interview. I was hoping for some tips and what to expect? I would like to prepare as best as possible. Team and level mentioned in the header.

Hi,
You should expect an operational, finance-heavy case, not a classic strategy one. The focus can probably be on liquidity pressure, working capital optimization, and short-term cash levers

Be ready to move comfortably across the balance sheet and cash flow, e.g. receivables, payables, inventory, and how to quickly unlock cash and prioritize concrete actions (e.g. renegotiating payment terms, reducing DSO, inventory liquidation).

I’d prepare by practicing cases where the goal is “improve cash in the next 3–6 months”, and make sure you can structure answers in a very practical, action-oriented way rather than staying high-level.

Good luck with it and if you want to deep-dive feel free to DM me.

Regards,
Franco

Hi Franco,

Thank you for the prompt response.

Are there any resources available to help with these example case studies? I have never done a case interview before so would like prepare.
