• 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

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

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

Responsibilities

• Conduct structured market research:
• Competitive landscape analysis

• 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

• 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.
