Financial Modeling Expert

We are hiring finance experts to build, review, and improve high-quality financial modeling work.

This role is for someone who has personally owned financial models and can explain the logic behind them. We are not looking for someone who only fills in templates or makes spreadsheets look polished. We are looking for professionals who understand how real businesses, transactions, forecasts, financing decisions, and complex source materials translate into robust financial models.

Areas of Focus

The work spans a broad range of finance disciplines, including:

Private Credit
Credit Analysis
Real Estate Finance
Commercial Real Estate
Private Equity
Investment Banking
Debt Capital Markets
Corporate Finance
Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A)
Risk Management
Asset-Based Lending
Asset-Backed Securities (ABS)
Structured Finance
Quantitative Finance
Infrastructure Finance
Project Finance
Leveraged Finance
Restructuring & Turnaround
Valuation & Transaction Advisory

What You'll Do

Build financial models from scratch across a range of finance use cases.
Review, audit, and improve models built by other finance professionals.
Create realistic finance scenarios, assumptions, and supporting source materials.
Build detailed revenue, operating expense, working capital, capital expenditure, debt, covenant, valuation, and sensitivity schedules.
Work with incomplete or messy information and transform it into clear analytical models.
Identify weak assumptions, broken logic, missing schedules, and oversimplified analyses.
Explain modeling decisions clearly and defend the reasoning behind your work.
Evaluate model outputs and ensure conclusions are commercially and financially sound.

What We Look For

Strong candidates can assess a business situation and quickly identify the true economic drivers. They understand the difference between complexity that adds value and complexity that simply creates more tabs, rows, or formatting.

We value candidates who can confidently say:

"I built this model. I understand the drivers. I know where the risks are. I can defend the logic."

Experience in one or more of the following areas: private credit, credit analysis, real estate finance, commercial real estate, private equity, investment banking, debt capital markets, risk management, asset-based lending, asset-backed securities, structured finance, quantitative finance, corporate finance, FP&A, valuation, restructuring, infrastructure finance, project finance, or related disciplines.
