Modeling Test - Big 4 Infra?
Hi all,
I am late stages in an interview process with a big 4 Infrastructure Advisory team and the interviewer mentioned the next stage will be a 2 hour modelling test then an interview to discuss the analysis/recommendations.
I am from Australia and the interviews so far have not been in person due to the COVID environment would anyone have ideas on what to expect here? They do a lot of renewable energy deals (solar, hydro) so I have been looking at some examples but I am curious given the 2 hour time frame what would be expected?
I am imagining modelling a 20-30 year contract based on the $mw/h with debt sizing, debt metrics, and a sensitivity analysis - perhaps a cash waterfall?
Any ideas? Thanks!
Bump.
Anyone?
Bump, very interested to know as well
Yes, your guess is correct. I wouldn't necessarily say macro/VBA or sensitivity is included in a 2-hour modeling test though. Could be just a normal DCF, unless you previously have infra/renewable experience.
If the infrastructure advisory group is with EY, take it if you get it. Deloitte and KPMG's infra advisory groups are...okay. PwC no.
Thanks for replying. Interesting comment about the ranking of the big 4.
I've read differently about the groups, maybe that's cause it's based in Australia?
Either way I'm pretty pumped, i've been going through Edward Bomer's courses and they seem pretty in-depth but would you have any recommendations or materials to help prepare?
My bad. I thought you are from Australia and are recruiting for US (new york city) offices. My "ranking" is based on a league table arranged by Inframation, for US, Canada, and LatAm.
DM me.

Agree. Although a couple boutique shops really dominate this space.
Is it for an entry level position or more experienced ?
Strongly recommend this course for anyone wanting to go into project/infrastructure finance: https://academy.gridlines.com/p/essential-financial-modelling
It's free and updated frequently.
It is for a Senior Consultant/Manager role and I have some background in Infrastructure but haven't had exposure to renewables.
Thanks for that website it looks great! I will go through that course this week.
It has a great solar model case study and good explanations of more complex topics in modelling (tax circularity, macros, FS modelling, etc). Enjoy !
Great resource. Thanks.
May have been late to reply, but if anyone wants access to some examination for Project Finance, I have lots from Advisory/PE funds. DM if interested.
Please DM me!
Very late to reply - but DM'd.

Hi infra.banking....
I had an initial interview with a Climate Finance Fund (Private Equity in Renewables, Water etc. ) and I have to do a 4 hour modelling test. Not sure what to expect. Can you provide some guidance or assistance?
