Sample interview questionsHow would you assess whether a vertical SaaS company is an attractive acquisition target?I would evaluate recurring-revenue quality, retention and churn, growth efficiency, gross margin, customer concentration, market size, competitive position, unit economics, and management depth. I would then model downside, base, and upside cases and connect the findings to a clear investment thesis and value-creation plan.

Describe how you would build a financial model for a potential acquisition.

I would begin with historical financials and KPI normalization, then build revenue assumptions by customer cohort, pricing, churn, and expansion. I would forecast costs, EBITDA, cash flow, debt or purchase-price assumptions, and returns, while using sensitivity analyses to test the key value drivers and risks.

How would you organize diligence across financial, commercial, product, technology, legal, and HR workstreams?

I would establish a diligence plan with owners, milestones, a centralized request list, and a weekly risk review. I would maintain an issue log that identifies findings, financial impact, required mitigation, and decision owners, ensuring material issues are elevated promptly to the deal team.

How would you build relationships with founders and intermediaries while sourcing acquisition opportunities?

I would lead with thoughtful research and a respectful, long-term approach rather than a purely transactional pitch. By understanding the founder’s goals, business model, and concerns, I can communicate Cordance’s value proposition credibly and create trust even when a transaction is not immediately actionable.

What are important considerations when planning post-acquisition integration for a software company?

I would prioritize continuity for customers and employees, clarify the operating model and decision rights, and identify early synergies without disrupting the acquired company’s strengths. The plan should include systems, reporting, talent retention, product roadmap alignment, communication, and measurable milestones for the first 30, 60, and 90 days.

Cordance is dedicated to accelerating the growth of vertically focused business-to-business (B2B) software-as-a-service (SaaS) companies through acquisition and long-term tactical and financial guidance.

Cordance envisions that all companies we work with achieve their full potential. We embrace what makes each company great and build on those foundations. We believe in elevating a company as it scales, delivering dignity to the organization and its employees, and sharing a passion for building a legacy.
