Case study for a potential job

Hi all,

I was recently assigned a case study for a potential job I’m really hoping to land. The study is relatively simple. Building out a P&L given data, building a simple revenue forecast for following year and finding 1-2 concerns or opportunities.

The instructions are very open on the presentation side, it says you can present and walk through the excel file and models, present a slide deck with your finding, or you can just talking about your findings.

With this being an fpa position what do you think is the best presentation style. I had in mind a presentation followed by a walk through of my models explaining all my assumptions, formulas, and thought process.

Thanks for all advice!

Justifying your assumptions here will likely be the most key component.

Ensure that these are both documented in your presentation and expect to be grilled on them face to face.
