Final Round Prep is owned and operated by Darren Lafreniere, who is currently the Director of the Ivey Consulting Project and a Consulitng Career Advisor at the Richard Ivey School of Business, one of the top MBA programs in the world.

Darren graduated with his MBA from the Richard Ivey School of Business in 2007, and post MBA he joined a prominent global management consulting firm, A.T. Kearney (ATK). In addition to consulting for clients across 7 major industries from 2007 - 2009, Darren was part of the ATK recruiting team, where he was actively involved in recruiting candidates from Canada’s top undergrad and MBA programs.

Darren also volunteers his time to support numerous non-profit consulting groups in Canada including the Rotman Volunteer Consulting Group, and the Endeavor Consulting Group for Non-Profits.

Obtaining a job in the Management Consulting industry at a top tier firm is about more than just preparing for “case interviews”.

Final Round Prep (FRP) provides a full suite of recruiting preparation services to students and professionals across the entire recruiting value chain: Consulting industry / career overview, cover letter and resume development, behavioral interviews, case interviews, networking and offer negotiation. Custom programs can be developed based on the specific needs of our clients – we will work together to create a solution that works.

Our recruiting preparation services are also provided in flexible and effective formats that suit the needs of both Career Management groups and students: Classroom workshops and “boot-camps”, small group sessions, and one-on-one preparation.

Please contact us today for more information.

Final Round Prep has been great for us here at Ivey. They “get it”: the academic and career demands on our MBA students, the consulting recruiters’ perspective and - unlike other providers - they have taken the time to get to know the complexities my team works within as we work to balance and juggle multiple stakeholder expectations. I would heartily recommend FRP as a partner for student preparation.

I worked with Darren prior to and during the 2009 Management Consulting recruiting season. He provided great advice and information through every step of the process starting from the informational/networking stage all the way through to detailed interview practice that was specific to the different firms. I attribute much of my success during this recruiting season to the feedback and coaching I received from Darren.
