Hey, That's fantastic news about your interview for Treasury & Capital Markets at Deloitte. A 90-minute session with technical questions and a case study means they're really looking for a solid understanding, which is exciting!
For the technical part, you'll want to focus on the core areas relevant to Treasury and Capital Markets. Think about deepening your understanding of financial instruments like bonds, equities, and derivatives – not just what they are, but how they're used in a corporate treasury context (e.g., for hedging, investment). Be ready to discuss concepts like interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk, and liquidity risk, and how a treasury function manages them. Cash flow forecasting and working capital management are also key areas. They'll likely want to see that you understand the big picture of how money moves in a company and how treasury plays a role in optimizing it.
Also, brush up on your financial statements – knowing how changes in one affect the others, especially from a cash flow perspective, is always valuable. And be prepared to articulate why you're interested in this specific group at Deloitte; showing that you've done your homework on their services and clients in the T&CM space will really make a difference. You've got this!
Hi There!
To prepare for the technical part of your Treasury and Capital Markets interview at Deloitte, focus first on understanding core concepts like interest rate risk, foreign exchange exposure, liquidity management, and financial instruments such as derivatives, swaps, and bonds. Be comfortable discussing how companies manage funding needs and hedge financial risks. Brush up on how treasury functions interact with capital markets, particularly how decisions impact cash flow, cost of capital, and financial reporting.
For the case study portion, practice structuring your thoughts clearly and logically. You may be asked to analyze a hypothetical treasury situation, recommend a risk mitigation strategy, or evaluate funding options. Interviewers will look for your ability to reason through a problem, use data effectively, and communicate your solution confidently. Focus on showing commercial awareness, practical judgment, and a clear understanding of how treasury strategies support a company’s financial goals. Even if you don’t know every technical term, demonstrating structured thinking and a willingness to learn goes a long way.
Hey,
Natalie already covered the key technical stuff really well! Just to add a bit: try to explain your knowledge with real examples during the interview. Like, how would you actually use a hedging instrument in a scenario? Or what happens to a company’s treasury strategy if interest rates rise?
Also, for case studies, interviewers often care more about how you approach the problem than getting every number right. So think out loud, explain your steps, and don’t stress if you don’t know something immediately. 😊
One last tip: if you have time, check out Deloitte’s recent reports or thought leadership on Treasury & Capital Markets, it’s a great way to show you’re up-to-date and really interested.
