Hacking Strategy & Finance
Prep for consulting and high finance, run by an interviewer who practices with you
The front of this product is the Interviewer. He runs cases with you out loud, drills your math against the clock, reads your readiness, and tells you which part of your game to fix next. Behind him sits the full path: every stage of recruiting for strategy and high finance roles, the clubs playbook, a deep case library, the finance wing, school dossiers, and a full time track for anyone recruiting after graduation.
I am your interviewer here. I run cases with you, drill your math, and tell you plainly which part of your game needs work. Ask me something, or press Hear it and I will introduce myself out loud.
He answers from the guide's own content and names the stage it lives in. He does not invent firm facts. On member accounts he remembers your year, school, progress, and scores, and you can see and clear what he remembers.
The path, stage by stage
Stage 0 and Stage 1 are free, and the first Case Math briefing is free. Each stage ends with a specific next step, and your readiness moves as your drill and case scores come in.
Stage 0
The Industry Explained
What consulting firms and finance teams actually do all day, how the work is staffed, and how hiring decisions get made. Start here if the words strategy and coverage still feel vague.

Stage 1
Timeline and Targeting
Two calendars run this process, one for consulting and one for finance, and they do not move together. This stage puts your class year on both and sets a target list you can actually finish.

Stage 2
The Resume Screen
Your resume gets seconds before a person decides. This stage rebuilds it line by line for the screen it will actually face, and covers the cover letter for the firms that still read one.

Stage 3
Networking That Gets Replies
Cold outreach fails when it asks for too much and says too little. This stage gives you a working system: who to contact, what to write, and how to run the call once someone answers.

Stage 4
Case Math
Case math is arithmetic under pressure, done out loud, with no calculator. This stage builds the speed and the narration habit together. The first briefing in this stage is free.

Stage 5
Structuring Without Canned Frameworks
Interviewers can hear a memorized framework in ten seconds. This stage teaches you to build a structure from the question itself, so it fits the case in front of you.

Stage 6
The Behavioral Interview
Fit questions decide more interviews than candidates expect. This stage builds a story bank from your own experience and teaches you to deliver each story with its point intact.

Stage 7
The Final Round
The final round is a different test from the first. This stage covers first rounds, second rounds, and final rounds separately, including partner level conversations and what changes when the interviewer stops leading.

Playbook
The Clubs Playbook
Competitive consulting and finance clubs are a recruiting channel of their own, with their own applications and interviews. This playbook covers choosing clubs, applying, and interviewing for a seat.

Wing
The Finance Wing
Banking and finance interviews test technical knowledge directly. This wing covers accounting, valuation, and the market questions, at the depth an interview actually reaches.

Wing
Accounting, LBO, and Modeling
Banking interviews test accounting the way case interviews test structure: directly, and at working depth. This track inside the Finance Wing builds the three statements as one system, drills transaction effects until they are reflexes, and then builds free cash flow, LBO mechanics, and modeling on top of them. The first briefing in this track is free.

The case library
Cases across the ten standard types, in varied industries, at three difficulty levels. Every case carries two exhibits with figures that agree, stepwise probing from the Interviewer, math checks with worked answers, a traps section, and a rubric debrief.
1 starter case open free. 15 cases in the first library, built to hold hundreds.
Browse the casesSchool dossiers
Recruiting runs through your campus. Each dossier covers the clubs and channels at one school. A dossier states as fact only what an official source supports. Everything else is written as general guidance you confirm locally.
11 dossiers at launch, starting with Maryland.
Find your schoolWho built this
This guide was built by a student who is living the cycle it teaches. In the current cycle he reached the final round at BCG, and he holds an accepted full time offer from a Big Four firm. The method here is the one that carried him there: staged preparation, scored practice, and honest diagnosis of the weak spot before the next round.
What it costs
Free stages first. Full access for one cycle is $29, $99 with a resume review, and $149 with a mock case and written feedback. Membership is $10 per month with every update included while it stays active. Every paid tier carries a fourteen day refund line.
