Are paper LBOs supposed to be paper only?

Just wondering if it’s acceptable to use Excel
or anything. I didn’t for my interview but obviously you can go faster / be cleaner in Excel

Usually paper LbO refers to an in person interview with no computer but ofc you can always do quick and dirty on a computer

The whole point is to do it on paper / “back of the envelope”.

If you want to do a full excel LBO that’s just the same exercise but with the ability to be more precise / faster.

I’m not fully sure I understand the point of the question - the reason to do a paper LBO is to show you understand all the same basic building blocks that would go into a real Excel LBO model

Perhaps OP is referring to an LBO of a paper company

Hi fishes.
Any interview questions suggestions for third party risk assessment would be appreciated.

I realized I've been a dummy for getting a job at a creative agency and not working on my portfolio. Most of the projects I've taken on, I've done so as a way to support others without taking much credit for it. Now, a better opportunity came along and I don't have anything to show for my talent as a designer. ALWAYS take credit for what you do, even if it's not your project to begin with.
