Reviews
"Pignataro's step-by-step approach is ideal for anyone trying to learn or hone the analytical skills necessary to model the basic viability of an LBO, from the point of view of the company as well as the investor. He explains valuational concepts and how to capture them in Excel spreadsheets, the latter described down to the level of individual keystrokes.... Leveraged Buyouts is a self-contained course in rudimentary financial modeling (and a crash course in Excel as well). It's a perfect read for anyone wanting to enter the world of investment banking or private equity."
