Everything to prepare for a EY-Parthenon Corporate Finance interview: why the firm, and the questions candidates there reported being asked.
From the inside
Reasons that work in interviews
4 reasons for EY-Parthenon Corporate Finance
One reason works across this whole category and is worth using once, in your own words: this is where you learn the diligence side of a deal, which is the half most bankers never see. Saying you want to understand what a quality of earnings actually tested before you start relying on one is a better answer than anything about brand, and it sets up the “why banking later” question cleanly rather than making it awkward.
Strategy consulting and deal advisory in the same practice: commercial diligence here is strategic work, not a data room exercise.
You learn to assess whether a business should be bought before you learn to model the purchase, which is the right order.
Private equity clients dominate the commercial diligence work, so you see how sponsors actually underwrite.
Useful if you are undecided between consulting and finance: this is the one seat that genuinely teaches both.
