We are hiring a Financial Modeling Analyst to support a growing investment and advisory platform working closely with founders and executive teams. This role is ideal for a highly analytical, intellectually curious professional who combines strong financial modeling expertise with business maturity and independent thinking. We are looking for someone reliable, proactive, and capable of operating in a fully remote environment without constant supervision.

What You’ll Be Doing

Core Financial Modeling (Primary Focus)

• Build and maintain robust 5-year financial forecast models from scratch

• Develop detailed bull, bear, and base case scenarios

• Break down revenue drivers (pricing, volume, assumptions) and clearly articulate modeling logic

• Conduct sensitivity analyses and assumption testing

• Support valuation discussions with structured, data-backed insights

Investment & Market Analysis

• Perform ad hoc financial analyses to support investment decisions

• Analyze break-even scenarios and capital requirements

• Conduct structured market research:

  • Competitive landscape analysis

  • Market comparables

  • Transaction benchmarks

  • Industry positioning

Strategic Support

• Prepare clear, executive-level presentation materials

• Assist in evaluating business models and growth trajectories

• Over time (6–12+ months), potential to grow into selective client-facing exposure

What We’re Looking For

1. Advanced Financial Modeling Skills (Non-Negotiable)
   You must be able to:

• Build complex Excel models independently

• Clearly explain every assumption in a model

• Walk through your logic step-by-step in a discussion

• Decompose revenue and cost structures thoughtfully

• Think beyond templates — understand why the numbers work

We are not looking for theoretical models. We are looking for someone who understands real-world business logic.

1. Intellectual Curiosity

• Ask thoughtful questions

• Research independently

• Connect dots between market data and financial outputs

• Continuously improve your understanding of industries and business models

Curiosity and initiative are highly valued.

1. Professional Maturity & Reliability

• You communicate proactively about timelines

• You provide updates without being chased

• You take ownership of deliverables

• You thrive in a remote, high-trust environment

Reliability is critical. We operate lean and cannot micromanage.

Tools & Technical Requirements

• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel

• Strong PowerPoint skills for executive-ready presentations

• Experience using financial data platforms (PitchBook or similar is a plus, but can be learned)

Background We Value

• Experience in financial modeling, investment analysis, venture, private equity, consulting, or corporate finance

• Exposure to early-stage companies and growth forecasting

• Strong business fundamentals and commercial thinking

• US banking experience is not required.  Strong modeling ability and business reasoning are more important.

Working hours:

Part-time, mostly between 9 am and 6 pm EST (check the time difference via the link), but flexibility is essential to accommodate 90% of clients based in PST. Candidates must be willing to adjust for client calls, even outside regular hours, to listen in and engage as needed. 

What we offer:

• Part-time job (20 hours per week). You can combine this job with some other projects that you have. 

• Work with top-end US analysts and gain exposure to high-level financial modeling.

• Potential for growth into a client-facing role with direct interaction with clients.

• Remote work. You may be located in almost any country or city, just need a good Internet connection, a powerful computer to work from, and the opportunity to adjust your working schedule for the team.

• Stability. We consider only the candidates looking for a long-term commitment of 1.5+ years.

• Quick selection process.

• Salary will be discussed at the interview. Paid in USD.

Application deadline: 18th of March 2026.

Please note that the later you apply - the more intensive your selection process will be, for example, you will have less time for the test assignment, etc.
