There’s a gap between school and the desk

No master’s prepares you for an analyst’s day-to-day: pitching, modeling, buy-side and sell-side process.
This course does.

The real questionscollected from candidates

Technicals and fitthe two things that get you cut

Land the offer, then stand out from your very first deal

The goal isn’t just to pass the interview. It’s to show up on day one without having to bluff.

Beginner

Job-ready analyst

Today
  • You know what an M&A deal is, but not what an analyst actually does all day.
  • Questions on accretion, modeling or structuring throw you off.
After the course
  • You walk through a full M&A process, from teaser to closing, buy-side and sell-side.
  • You build a business plan and a valuation model from scratch in Excel.
  • You answer technical questions and fit questions with confidence.

“I took the course as soon as I started in M&A. I wanted to really understand the process in depth and get hands-on practice on the technical topics. That’s what got me up to speed fast on the core of the job and made me far more independent.”

What our members say

High-quality course with really useful worked exercises. The content takes you back through the corporate finance basics, then sharpens the more technical side step by step. Highly recommend!

M&A Analyst

In my view, it’s by far the best finance course out there. Clear, precise explanations, tons of interview questions, technical cases and real examples from an investment banker’s day-to-day. It fit my needs perfectly, highly recommend.

Nadia
Corporate finance student

The vast majority of the interview questions I got are already covered in detail in the course. So I could prep them ahead of time and walk in fully ready on the day. This course is a real gold mine. The big topics, accounting, valuation and building a financial model, come with plenty of examples and practice exercises.

I’d been working in finance for two years, looking for a way into M&A or PE. Invest Prep gave me a complete course to get back up to speed at my own pace. It genuinely takes you up a gear, you come out more comfortable and technically sharp.

Your questions before getting started

Do I need a finance internship already to follow the course?

No. The path starts from the accounting and finance fundamentals before moving into the technical topics banks expect. A student with no experience can follow it from start to finish, and someone already on the job will find the trick questions and modeling cases rarely covered in a finance master’s.

Do the Excel cases match the tests given in interviews?

Yes. They’re the exercises actually asked in the process: building a business plan, cash flow statement, DCF and multiples valuation, debt schedule, LBO model. Each case is rebuilt with you on video, screen shared, step by step.

Does the course prepare me for fit questions too?

A whole module is dedicated to it: walking through your background, motivation questions, situational cases, brain teasers and market sizing, all with answers. In investment banking, a strong technical level isn’t enough if the fit interview doesn’t follow.

How long does it take to get through?

It depends on your starting point and how soon your interviews are. Access is for life, so you go at your own pace by priority. Most members work through it over a few weeks, then come back to it before each process and during their first months on the job.

What’s the real difference with Premium?

The IB course covers everything you need to ace your M&A and Leveraged Finance interviews. Premium includes all of that content and adds the Private Equity, Venture Capital and Transaction Advisory Services modules, plus 50 company profiles. For €100 more.

How does the money-back guarantee work?

You have 14 days after your purchase to go through the course. If it doesn’t meet your expectations, email us at contact@investprep.fr explaining what didn’t work for you, and we’ll process the refund.

Is the content kept up to date?

Yes, regularly, based on feedback from candidates coming out of the process and on market shifts. Your lifetime access includes every future update at no extra cost.

Don’t lose an interview over a question you could have prepped for

An M&A internship pays €1,500 to €2,000 a month. This course costs less than a week of it.
