    Hi Sohaibm, could you please tell more about the complicity of excel, like what are the most common formula do you use in constructing comples financial model? and how can I familiarize myself with these formula so I can build complex financial model? Thanks again.

    I have one question. Lets say if we can put in cohert the avg. Weekly hours you work in london in a Big4 and based on our personal experience what it would look like.
    E.g. 25% week Normal (I.e. 9 to 5), 40% time 15 Hrs, etc.

      hey julien, its mainly looking at the financial statements and breaking down the following in granular detail:
      - revenue (quality of earnings)
      - cost base
      - net working capital
      - net debt

    Hey Sohaib !! Great video.
    So i have been selected by one of big 4 in Advisory - Technology consulting - Enterprise performance management (EPM).
    Although i have gone through the job description and it sounds exciting. There is use of lot of jargon.
    Can you tell me , what exactly happen in EPM role with some example... That would be really helpful for me and give me clarity.
    Thank you so much

    May I ask what did KPMG expect you to have when you apply to transaction service? I just got a personal interview at Complex Transactions Group position and I can't find much information about it.
    Hope for your reply.

    • @SohaibAshraf
      @SohaibAshraf  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Nothing really - the bar for entry is pretty low except from the 2:1 degree
      you just needed to have good motivation in terms of why you're interested in the division, what excites you about M&A , and be able to have a conversation about the industry
      and also be able to answer competency questions well, and motivation to join KPMG over other companies

    Hi just wanted to know how much does a m&a deal advisory associate makes at big4 in London

    • @SohaibAshraf
      @SohaibAshraf  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Ill make a vid on salaries soon - by associate , do you mean graduates (analysts) or ACA qualified (Associate)? sometimes people use the terms interchangeably
      Analyst 1/2/3 - 28.5/30.5/35k
      Associate 1/2 - 60/62k

    Do you get proper training on what and how you should be doing your task?

    • @SohaibAshraf
      @SohaibAshraf  2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      yeah yeah we get quite extensive training when we join - usually lasts around 2-3 weeks before we start actual project worK
      but most of the learning is through mentorships by the senior associates and managers tbh
      i can make a vid on this

    Thank you for the short and insightful video. Appreciate it.
    Do we need to roughly know how to perform these tasks in an interview if your undergraduate degree is in accounting and finance?

    • @SohaibAshraf
      @SohaibAshraf  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey hey glad you liked the vid
      Nah you wouldn't need to know any of the tasks or accounting and technical aspects
      But you would be expected to have an understanding of the M&A and financial markets from a commercial perspective
      What's deal activity like, what's happening in markets, any notable big M&A transaction, interest rates etc

    • @SimonLiftsLife
      @SimonLiftsLife 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@SohaibAshraf Thanks so much for your reply. I see, are you saying that a brief understanding of the role and having a little bit of commercial awareness around the area would be enough for the interview? (something like... the current interest rate rise and declining market/global condition mean that a lot of businesses might be forced to sell at a much lower valuation in the future.)
