The Investment Banking & Buy Side Preparatory Program (IB & Buy Side Prep) is a comprehensive technical training series offered through Smith School of Business’s Career Advancement Centre. Designed for Commerce students pursuing careers in investment banking, private equity, and other buy-side roles, the program provides students with the analytical tools and practical knowledge required to excel in finance recruiting and technical interviews.

Participants commit approximately 15 hours per week through workshops, tutorials, and presentation preparation to gain hands-on experience in areas such as public market comparable analysis, discounted cash flow valuation, merger and acquisition analysis, and leveraged buyouts.

These sessions will introduce students to the frameworks, analytical methods, and practical applications of public market comparable company, discounted cash flow, M&A; and leveraged buyout analyses in an investment banking and buy side context. Facilitators will guide students through concepts such as transaction structuring, valuation, accretion/dilution,



sources and uses, and key financial modelling principles.
