One of the quickest and most common ways to evaluate candidates for analyst roles is to give them a finance case study during an interview. Case studies force us to both crunch the numbers quantitatively to demonstrate our knowledge but also think about the big picture and make recommendations - they are a lot of fun!

For these reasons, they are common in technical finance interviews, university projects, MBA programs, etc.

In this video, I help you solve a finance interview case study for a software platform that is considering a revenue share partnership with another company - this is the type of case study would be common at a FAANG or big tech company.

All case studies start the same way - they present you with a set of facts during some pivotal moment at a company where they are trying to decide whether they want to do some new thing (be it internally, or externally).

Regardless of the specifics - all case studies in finance are effectively asking you to do the same thing - build a simple income statement, differentiate COGS vs. OPEX expenses, calculate the depreciation for a CAPEX investment, and evaluate cash vs. accrual accounting payback period.

At the end, you are expected to synthesize your analysis into an open-ended recommendation about what the company should do.

Now that you understand the basic format of finance case studies, let's walk through this example where I help you develop a framework of ideas to analyze situations with.
