Financial analyst focused on valuation and transaction advisory; built DCF models and trading comparables in Bank of America and Citi simulations.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
Through the Bank of America Investment Banking Job Simulation, I screened an acquisition target and built a five-year DCF model, including forecasts, WACC, and an exit multiple. I estimated enterprise and equity value and tested how valuation changed across sensitivity scenarios.
In the Citi Investment Banking Job Simulation, I built a five-year projected income statement in Excel and benchmarked a target against listed big-box retailers using trading comparables. I also prepared a company profile and summarized an investor update in an internal report.
Across audit and risk simulations with PwC US, KPMG, and Goldman Sachs, I tested purchasing-cycle controls, assessed risks, and applied data analytics to recommend control enhancements.
I’m an ACCA Affiliate with all 13 exams cleared and a BBA from Chandigarh University. My grounding in IFRS, financial statement analysis, and Excel modelling supports my interest in financial analysis and valuation work.
