About Our Client

Our client is building advanced AI-driven solutions at the intersection of finance and technology and is seeking highly technical Financial Modeling Experts to support sophisticated modeling initiatives across multiple financial domains.

This is not a traditional accounting or operational finance role. It is designed for professionals who are deeply involved in building, testing, and improving financial models from the ground up. The position is ideal for candidates who remain hands-on in modeling execution and enjoy solving complex, real-world financial problems through structured analysis and first-principles thinking.

The role offers the opportunity to contribute to the development and validation of financial models used to support intelligent systems, while collaborating with a technically driven team focused on quality, rigor, and innovation.

Key Responsibilities

• Build complete financial models from scratch, including integrated three-statement models (Income Statement, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow Statement).
• Develop and refine advanced financial models across areas such as corporate finance, valuation, credit and risk, debt and capital markets, asset-based lending, structured finance, and quantitative finance.
• Create dynamic assumptions, model drivers, and scenario analyses to support a variety of financial use cases.
• Perform model validation, stress testing, quality assurance, troubleshooting, and debugging to ensure technical integrity.
• Review and improve models developed internally, ensuring consistency, scalability, and high-quality standards.
• Solve complex financial modeling challenges requiring analytical rigor and structured problem-solving.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with internal stakeholders and subject matter experts to support model development and improvement.
• Contribute high-quality financial examples and modeling outputs used to improve AI training and financial intelligence systems.

Requirements

• 2–5+ years of relevant experience in finance-related roles involving strong modeling exposure.
• Proven experience building financial models from scratch rather than relying only on pre-built templates.
• US GAAP Experience
• Advanced Excel skills with the ability to build dynamic, linked, multi-tab models.
• Strong understanding of:
  • Corporate Finance
  • Accounting principles
  • Valuation methodologies
  • Financial statement integration
  • Forecasting and scenario analysis
• Ability to independently structure, validate, and troubleshoot complex models.
• Strong attention to detail and high quality standards.
• Excellent written and verbal English communication skills.
• Comfortable working autonomously in a remote environment.

Nice to Have

• CFA, CPA, or similar certifications.
• Degree in Finance, Economics, Accounting, Engineering, Mathematics, or another quantitative field.
• Experience creating or reviewing financial modeling assessments or case studies.
• Exposure to automation, programming, or data tools that complement financial modeling.
• Prior mentoring or leadership experience.
