EBITDA margin and FCF conversion rate are the two big ones

Depending on the industry. For growth companies I spend more time with I/S. On a real/likely deal, I’d try to hire big 4 to put together a QoE to save some time on the more granular things.

hi all, currently have two offers:

Coming as a Senior in Audit, with recent FDD exposure (2 deals, obviously not much). I was looking for something more than just number crunching, wanting a mix of quant / quali / strategic work. M&A Advisory or a Corp Strategy role is where I'm looking to end up long term.

Thanks in advance!
