Hi,

I have an interview with transaction services in a big 4 where I have to perform a valuation model of a company and then present it in a slide deck. Does anyone know where I can even start to practice for this and ensure that I am practicing for the correct thing?

I want to be notified about updates regarding this question via email

Hi,

You can try Training The Street valuation courses. They also have a dedicated course on "valuation on paper" but only once you can do valuation in excel
