About the role
This interview covers financial due diligence from data reconciliation through quality of earnings, working capital and deal implications. The panel wants strong accounting analysis, disciplined execution and the judgement to separate an interesting variance from an issue that matters to the transaction.
How to prepare
- Practise bridging reported profit to an adjusted measure and explaining every adjustment.
- Review how you analyse cash conversion, working capital seasonality and potential net debt items.
- Prepare an example of reconciling inconsistent management and accounting information.
- Think through how you would prioritise requests when access to management and data is limited.
- Practise summarising a finding in terms of evidence, uncertainty and possible deal impact.
Common mistakes
- Accepting management adjustments without testing whether the item is genuinely non-recurring.
- Listing variances without explaining why they matter to the buyer or seller.
- Ignoring reconciliation gaps because the overall trend looks plausible.
- Hiding uncertainty instead of stating what evidence is missing and what could change.
