What they say

Teams, analysts and students who trained with Caserta.
1–3 of 10
  • “I recommend it to every summer analyst we hire. It gets them productive on a model in their first week.”
    Daniel H.
    Vice President, Investment Banking
  • “The most comprehensive LBO modeling course I've found. Rob's real-deal experience shows in every lesson.”
    Sarah M.
    VP, Corporate Development, PE-backed company
  • “This course gave me the edge I needed for my PE interviews. The case studies alone were worth the price.”
    James C.
    Associate, bulge bracket investment bank
  • “Went from zero LBO knowledge to acing my PE on-cycle interviews in 3 weeks. Can't recommend enough.”
    David P.
    MBA Candidate, Harvard Business School
  • “I finally understand why the debt schedule works the way it does, not just how to build it. That changed how I talk in interviews.”
    Priya R.
    Analyst, elite boutique investment bank
  • “Rob explains returns bridges and sensitivities better than anyone on my desk. I rebuilt our template after Level 7.”
    Michael T.
    Senior Associate, Middle-Market PE
  • “Worth more than the prep courses that cost four times as much. Every lesson ends with something you can actually build.”
    Elena K.
    Incoming Analyst, bulge bracket investment bank
  • “Came from engineering with no finance background. Ten levels later I passed a PE modeling test on the first try.”
    Andrew L.
    Career switcher, ex-Software Engineer
  • “The case study at the end of the course is the closest thing to a live deal I have seen outside the office.”
    Sophie W.
    Associate, Growth Equity
  • “Clear, rigorous and no filler. I went through it twice: once to learn, once to make sure I could do it from a blank sheet.”
    Nadia B.
    FP&A Manager, Fortune 500

Questions

Yes. Corporate engagements are scoped around your models, your house style and, where possible, a live or recent deal. Send us what the team works in and we build the curriculum on it.

Either. Most multi-day programs run on site; half-day sessions and follow-ups run virtually. Pricing is discussed on the introductory call.

If you are still recruiting for investment banking, the Rising Analyst Program. If you already have a signed offer and want to be ready on day one, the Top Bucket Program. If you need help with one specific thing, hourly coaching.

The LBO Modeling Masterclass is the same core LBO curriculum we teach in corporate engagements, recorded for self-paced study. Corporate programs add your templates, live Q&A and the surrounding topics your team needs.
