<p>Are you <strong>planning to interview</strong> for private equity jobs <strong>in the near future</strong> and are nervous or anxious about the <strong>LBO modeling test</strong> during the interview?</p>
<p>Private equity firms typically require candidates to take a financial modeling test as part of the interview process, where <strong>candidates are asked to build a working LBO model under time pressure</strong>, analyzing a company / potential investment opportunity.</p>
<p>The <strong>stakes are high</strong>, because compensation for private equity associate positions <strong>can be <em>very</em> lucrative</strong> &#8212; often <strong>ranging from $200,000 &#8211; $350,000</strong> or more annually. That&#8217;s <strong>4 &#8211; 7x the national household median income by the time you are 24 or 25 years old</strong>.</p>
<p>The good news is <strong>nailing the LBO modeling test</strong><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"><strong> is a highly trainable skill</strong>. Unfortunately, m</span><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">any Wall Street LBO modeling courses cost thousands of dollars for a couple days of classroom instruction. </span></p>
<p>But our <a title="Private Equity Training Videos" href="https://www.interviewprivateequity.com/how-to-build-private-equity-leveraged-buyout-lbo-financial-model-training-videos/" target="_blank"><strong>Private Equity Training Videos</strong></a> provide the same hands-on, <strong>step-by-step training</strong> &#8212; at a fraction of the price &#8212; on how to build both <strong>complex and rapid-form LBO models</strong> that the live classes offer. Moreover, there&#8217;s no risk of &#8220;falling behind&#8221; in our course, because you can watch and <strong>learn at your own pace</strong> and <strong>review our examples as many times as you need</strong> to develop a strong understanding of how to model PE transactions.</p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Our LBO modeling course provides tactical knowledge and training on how to </span><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">nail your LBO modeling test</span><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">, making it the </span><strong>perfect solution for<span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> candidates who have </span>no previous private equity experience</strong><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">, as well as candidates who are looking for a </span><strong style="line-height: 1.5em;">PE modeling refresher</strong><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">.</span></p>
<p>Our videos will show you how to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Think intuitively about the <strong>mechanics of LBO finance</strong></li>
<li><strong>Model leveraged buyouts efficiently</strong> in Excel</li>
<li><strong>Communicate your results effectively</strong> with a PowerPoint presentation</li>
</ul>
<p>All of our training video packages grant you access to all the videos in that package for <strong>1 full year</strong>.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS</strong></span></p>
<h4><strong>Q. Will these training videos really help me learn how to build an LBO model under time pressure so I can nail my modeling test interview?</strong></h4>
<p>For most private equity firms, proficient knowledge of the private equity industry is not sufficient to get the job. You can&#8217;t just talk the talk; you need to walk the walk. You need to be able to actually build an LBO model and analyze and evaluate an actual investment opportunity. This is a core technical skill you will use every single day on the job, which is why most firms dedicate 4-8 hours testing you on it.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s where our videos come in. We walk you step-by-step through the process of building an LBO model. First, we start with an overview on LBO transaction theory and how to calculate returns using just a pen and paper &#8211; so you understand the intuition and logic. Then we show you how to maximize your efficiency using key Excel shortcuts and tricks. We then actually build 2 LBO models together from scratch, starting from a blank Excel sheet, with no custom plugins or macros, so everyone is on a level playing field. Finally, our Plus and Pro packages show you how to crank out an efficient and effective PowerPoint presentation to present your investment findings and analysis.</p>
<p>These are the key skills you will need to demonstrate during your LBO modeling test on your interview day. We show you step-by-step exactly how to develop, strengthen, and master these skills, so that you are in the best position to walk in and nail your LBO modeling interview.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4><strong>Q. Is it worth it to pay $200+ for the training videos?</strong></h4>
<p>We feel strongly that our training videos offer incredible value for PE interview candidates.</p>
<p>Quite simply, the stakes for success or failure in your PE interviews are high. Compensation for entry-level PE associates is very lucrative — often $200,000 – $350,000 or more annually. That’s 4 – 7x the national household median income by the time you are 24 or 25 years old. Once you&#8217;ve been in the job for several years, the pay can quickly rise to half a million or more per year.</p>
<p>That means your investment in yourself through purchasing our training videos will pay off many hundreds of times over just in your first year on the job, and it only goes up over time when you look at your earnings over the years after getting your foot in the industry.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s also important to remember is you usually only get one shot interviewing for private equity roles. If you don&#8217;t land a PE job in the year your &#8220;class&#8221; is being recruited, it&#8217;s really hard to come back in a subsequent year and recruit / interview again. By then, there will be a new class of PE recruits flooding the market from consulting firms, investment banks, accounting firms, and corporate strategy departments. PE headhunters will be focusing their time on this new class and it&#8217;s super hard to get their attention when they&#8217;re so preoccupied with fresh candidates coming out of 2-year rotational programs.</p>
<p>That makes the risk of not being totally prepared for your PE interviews very, very costly, because it could mean missing the chance of a lifetime to enter the buy-side investing world &#8212; and all the big paydays that come with it.</p>
<p>So ask yourself, how much is it worth it to not be totally informed and prepared for your PE interviews, and potentially lose the opportunity to break into the profession altogether?</p>
<p>By contrast, how much is it worth it to invest in yourself by purchasing our training videos and potentially winning a lucrative private equity job? Think about it this way: with your new PE salary, you can earn back your investment in our training videos in just your first DAY on the job &#8212; with more than enough left over to buy your friends and family beer to celebrate!</p>

<p>Looking to <strong>break into investment banking?</strong> Anxiously <strong>preparing for corporate finance interviews? </strong>Want to jump start mastering financial modeling so you can <strong>hit the ground running in your new job?</strong></p>
<p>The <strong>stakes are high</strong>, because salaries for entry-level analysts and associates in banking and finance are<strong> lucrative</strong> — often <strong>$110,000 – $230,000</strong> or more annually when combining base and bonus. That’s <strong>2 – 5x</strong> the national household <strong>median income</strong> coming<strong> straight out of college or grad school</strong>.</p>
<p>Succeeding in finance requires strong analytical skills in <strong>analyzing and valuing companies</strong>. This demands a strong understanding of the <strong>mechanics and business judgment</strong> involved in <strong>modeling financial statements and discounted cash flows</strong>.</p>
<p>The good news is: <strong>financial modeling and discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis</strong> are <strong>highly trainable</strong> skills. The bad news is: <strong>Wall Street modeling classes can cost thousands</strong> for just a one-day class.</p>
<p><strong>That&#8217;s where our training videos come in. </strong></p>
<p>Using a <strong>well-known public company</strong> as our case study &#8212; Chipotle Mexican Grill &#8212; our <a title="Financial Modeling Online Video Training Course: 3 Statement and DCF Modeling" href="https://www.interviewprivateequity.com/financial-modeling-online-video-training-course-3-statement-dcf-modeling-excel/" target="_blank"><strong>3 Statement and DCF Modeling Video Training Course</strong></a> provides hands-on, &#8220;roll-up-your-sleeves,&#8221; <strong>step-by-step training</strong> — at <strong>lower cost</strong> than competing courses.</p>
<p><strong>We teach you how to build fully integrated financial and valuation models</strong>, just like the live classes. But there’s no risk of “falling behind,” because you can <strong>learn at your own pace</strong> and <strong>watch our examples as many times as you need</strong> to master financial modeling.</p>
<p>Our training videos focus on critical <strong>tactical knowledge and skills</strong>, making it the <strong>perfect solution for fast learners with no prior finance experience</strong>, or experienced candidates who need a <strong>financial modeling refresher</strong>.</p>
<p>We will teach you how to:</p>
<ul>
<li style="margin-top: 1.5em;"><strong>Build a fully integrated 3 statement financial model</strong> in Excel</li>
<li style="margin-top: 1.5em;"><strong>Build a DCF analysis</strong> using both perpetuity growth and EBITDA multiple methods</li>
<li style="margin-top: 1.5em;"><strong>Build detailed supporting schedules</strong> linking back to the 3 statements</li>
<li style="margin-top: 1.5em;"><strong>Analyze a public company 10-K filing</strong> to efficiently extract data needed for your model</li>
<li style="margin-top: 1.5em;"><strong>Troubleshoot your model accurately and efficiently</strong> when accounts don&#8217;t balance or reconcile</li>
<li style="margin-top: 1.5em;"><strong>Understand key concepts</strong> related to depreciation, amortization, goodwill, circularity, unlevered vs. levered cash flow, terminal value, weighted average cost of capital, capital asset pricing model, and enterprise vs. equity value</li>
<li style="margin-top: 1.5em;"><strong>Think intuitively</strong> about financial statement <strong>mechanics</strong>, <strong>analysis</strong>, and corporate <strong>valuation</strong></li>
<li style="margin-top: 1.5em;"><strong>Model very efficiently</strong> using Excel shortcuts</li>

<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS</strong></span></p>
<h4><strong>Q. </strong><strong>Will these training videos really help me succeed in my banking interviews and help me hit the ground running in my finance job? </strong></h4>
<p>Nailing investment banking and corporate finance interviews and succeeding in a high-pressure finance job from Day 1 requires a strong understanding of key finance, accounting, and corporate valuation principles. Having the technical training and skills to confidently build 3-statement models and DCF valuations and critically analyze and evaluate companies is the key skill set that will distinguish you in interviews and help you excel in the job. This is why it&#8217;s critical to develop a rock-solid understanding of how to model and forecast financial statements and value companies accurately and efficiently in Excel.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s where our videos come in. We walk you step-by-step through the process of building fully integrated financial and valuation models. With our Pro Plan, we first start with an overview on financial statement analysis and then immediately apply those principles to building a simplified, but fully integrated, 3-statement model of a lemonade stand business. With this simplified example, we cover all the key concepts of interlinking and forecasting the 3 statements, which helps you understand the intuition and logic of how the core financial statements fit together. This provides a strong foundation for us to build a full-fledged 3-statement model using a public company 10-K in the next part of the course. We also show you how to maximize your efficiency in Excel using important shortcuts and techniques.</p>
<p>We then extend the knowledge from our simple 3-statement example and actually build a fully integrated financial model of Chipotle Mexican Grill, complete with detailed supporting schedules that link back into the core statements, as well as a discounted cash flow analysis that evaluates free cash flow using both the perpetuity growth method and the EBITDA multiple method. We do this step-by-step from the ground up starting from a blank Excel sheet, with no custom plugins or macros, so that everyone is on a level playing field. We also provide plenty of visual explanations of key finance concepts to augment your understanding of financial modeling, including deep-dives on depreciation, amortization, goodwill, circularity, unlevered vs. levered cash flow, terminal value, weighted average cost of capital, the capital asset pricing model, and enterprise vs. equity value. And we even provide troubleshooting tips on how to efficiently and accurately diagnose problems in your model when accounts don&#8217;t balance or reconciliations don&#8217;t tie.</p>
<p>These are key skills you will need to succeed in a high-stakes finance job. And we show you step-by-step exactly how to develop, strengthen, and master those skills so that you are in the best position to nail your finance interviews and hit the ground running in your new job.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4><strong>Q. Is it worth it to pay $200+ for the training videos?</strong></h4>
<p>We feel strongly that our training videos offer tremendous value for motivated banking and finance job candidates.</p>
<p>Quite simply, the stakes for success or failure in your finance interviews and job performance are high. Salaries for entry-level banking analysts and associates span anywhere from $110,000 annually on the low-end to $230,000 or more annually on the high-end, when factoring in base and bonus together. That’s 2 – 5x the national household median income &#8212; all for a finance job candidate coming straight out of college or grad school. After you&#8217;ve been in the job for a few years, moreover, compensation can quickly increase to many hundreds of thousands of dollars annually.</p>
<p>That means your investment in yourself through purchasing our training videos will pay off hundreds of times over in your first year on the job alone, and that only goes up when you evaluate your long-term future earnings after getting your foot in the door.</p>
<p>So the risk of not being totally prepared, either for your interviews or for your first 100 days on the job itself, can be very costly because it could mean blowing an important chance to build a lucrative career in finance &#8212; and the large paydays that come with it.</p>
<p>So ask yourself, how much is it worth it to not be totally prepared for your break into the finance field, and potentially messing up a great career opportunity?</p>
<p>By contrast, how much is it worth it to invest in yourself by purchasing our training videos and potentially winning a lucrative banking or finance job? Think about it this way: with your new finance salary, you can earn back your investment in our training videos in just your first DAY on the job &#8212; with more than enough left over to buy your friends and family a beer to celebrate!</p>

<p>How do private equity firms really make money?<strong> Management fees</strong> may shed light on why PE investors have such <strong>high salaries</strong>, no matter whether the PE firm has successfully exited an investment. But how is it that some private equity titans, like Henry Kravis of KKR and Stephen Schwarzman of Blackstone, can make a windfall <strong>half-<em>billion</em> dollars in a single year</strong>?<span id="more-249"></span></p>
<p>To understand how private equity firms really make money, you have to understand how the <strong>returns distribution waterfall</strong> works. The typical split in profits between LPs and GP is <strong>80 / 20</strong>. That means, the LP gets distributed 80% of the profits on an exit (after returning their initial capital) and the GP keeps 20% of the profits. This 20% is known as &#8220;<strong>carried interest</strong>,&#8221; or &#8220;<strong>carry</strong>.&#8221; The carry is then split up between the PE firm&#8217;s investment professionals, with most of the distributions going to the partners, while the LPs then divvy up the 80% they received based on their proportional contribution to the fund.</p>
<p>Now typically, a GP will only commit 1-5% of the capital of the fund; my firm contributed about 10%, which was extraordinarily high by industry standards. So think about it: the GP contributes 1-5% of the fund (or perhaps 10% at the extreme), but they get to keep 20% of the profits. <strong>That&#8217;s how private equity firms are able to reap such enormous returns</strong>.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s walk through a quick example. Say a PE firm called Awesome Capital Partners raises a $1B fund, with $950M coming from LPs and $50M coming from the GP (that&#8217;s 5% contribution from the GP). The GP then invests all the capital in acquiring companies. A few years down the road, they exit all their portfolio companies for $2B total. The LPs get $1B back first &#8212; that&#8217;s returning their capital. That leaves $1B left, and it&#8217;s divided up 80 / 20 between LPs and GP. So the LPs get $800M and the GP gets $200M. So the GP invested $50M at the start, but gets back $200M in profits &#8212; already a 4x return, gangbusters by any standard you could apply in PE.</p>
<p>But there&#8217;s more. The GP <strong>doesn&#8217;t divide that pot evenly</strong>. The senior partners collect the vast majority of the profits, so if the firm only has 10 investment professionals, 4 of which are partners, and only 2 of which are senior partners, you could see how $150M in profits to the GP can quickly become a <strong>big payday for the senior partners</strong> of the firm, especially if half or more go to 2 senior partners alone. That&#8217;s just an example of a firm that raised $1B. But what about when a firm, like TPG, has more than <strong>$50B</strong> under management? They certainly have a bigger staff of investment professionals, but it&#8217;s not anywhere near 50x bigger than the $1B fund.</p>
<p>You see where this is going. The more AuM there is relative to the number of partners at the firm, the bigger the payday on an exit year &#8212; assuming the investments didn&#8217;t go bankrupt!</p>

<p><em>I often respond to questions from readers on the private equity interview process. Here is a question I recently responded to:</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Q: What are Bain Capital pre-MBA private equity associate interviews like? </strong></h3>
<p>A: I worked for a Bain Capital PE spinout previously, which was basically a huge &#8220;team liftout&#8221; from Bain Capital and Bain &amp; Company, including the head of worldwide HR at Bain Capital and the former chairman of the Bain Capital manageme<wbr />nt committee. They adopted a lot of the same screening, hiring, and training techniques that Bain Capital did, and here is what I encountered in my interviews.</p>
<p>The process was structured over <strong>3 rounds</strong>, with the type of people at each step and the kinds of questions asked varying between rounds. It consisted of a heavy <strong>combination of case interviews</strong>, technical <strong>finance questions</strong>, <strong>modeling tests</strong>, and <strong>personal fit</strong> interviews to test 6 things:</p>
<p>1. Financial modeling<br />
2. Operational modeling<br />
3. Macro / market due diligence<br />
4. Strategic analysis (as tested through case interviews)<br />
5. Creating slide presentations<br />
6. Personality fit</p>
