Become the candidate banks hire
in M&A and Investment Banking
The M&A, Leveraged Finance, ECM and DCM course that gets you through IB interviews and through your first years on the desk.
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.
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.
Job-ready analyst
- 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.
- 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!
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.
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.
