Financial Analyst

We’re helping an international finance and M&A consultancy find a Financial Analyst to support transaction advisory, fundraising, and strategic finance projects for high-growth startups and scaleups.

You’ll build sophisticated financial models, prepare investor and board materials, and support valuation and deal execution across software and deeptech companies. This is a hands-on, high-accountability role where flawless work is non-negotiable — your analyses will directly inform key decisions and client strategies.

This role is ideal for someone who is a wizard with numbers, detail-obsessed yet commercially minded, and capable of seeing both the story and strategy behind the spreadsheets.

Part time to start, no. of hours/week can be negotiated during the initial interview, with possibility of transitioning to full time 
Schedule: CET working hours
Location: Fully Remote 
Engagement: Independent Contractor
Compensation: $2400-$3680 for full time

Key Responsibilities

• Financial Modelling (Forecast & Scenario Analysis)
  Build fully linked 3-statement financial models with sensitivities and scenarios (base, downside, management).
  Create cash flow forecasts, liquidity bridges, and valuation-ready modules (DCF, comps, transaction comps).

• Historical Restatement & Data Hygiene
  Reconcile and clean raw data (GL exports, bank data, SaaS metrics) into analysis-ready formats.
  Maintain version control, audit trails, and traceability from trial balance to model.

• Reporting Templates & Automation
  Design board and investor reporting templates, KPI dashboards, and variance analysis frameworks.
  Build SaaS metrics (ARR/MRR bridges, churn, LTV/CAC, NRR) and recurring revenue templates.

• Transaction Support (Model-Led)
  Produce deal-ready schedules for buy-side and sell-side engagements (QofE, NWC, closing adjustments).
  Translate model outputs into charts and visuals for investment memorandums and management presentations.

• Quality Assurance & Standards
  Follow strict QA processes (FAST/SMART methodology).
  Double-check every formula, input, and output — your work must be flawless.
  Ensure transparency through consistent assumptions pages, error checks, and version logs.

Requirements

• 3–6 years of experience in M&A, Transaction Services, or FP&A, ideally from a Tier 1 investment bank or M&A boutique.

  • Candidates with more years of experience will also be considered if they remain flexible and open to new approaches.

• Strong experience working with software companies; exposure to deeptech (e.g., chipmakers) is a plus.

• Advanced Excel/Google Sheets proficiency (array formulas, Power Query, dynamic formulas, structured refs).

• Excellent grasp of valuation and deal mechanics (NWC, closing adjustments, leakage, earn-outs).

• Ability to turn messy data into clear historicals and models — quickly and accurately.

• Strong communication and interpersonal skills — able to explain the story behind the numbers.

• Meticulous attention to detail and ability to self-check work before submission.

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience preparing materials for investment memorandums (IMs).

• Familiarity with CAPEX modelling and debt structuring.

• Previous experience in software or SaaS transactions; exposure to deeptech deals a bonus.

How Our Client Works

• They own the numbers — every figure must be backed by logic, traceability, and quality assurance.

• They balance precision with practicality — models should be easy to hand over and fast to update.

• They translate numbers into narratives — this role will eventually expand into creating investment memorandums where financial insights tell the story.
