We want candidates who love Excel modeling, embrace automation (including AI), and understand balance sheets. The ideal candidate is a self-proclaimed perfectionist who has a passion for working cross-functionally with internal and client teams.

• Work collaboratively with internal and client teams to gain a deep understanding of the story behind the numbers.
• Work collaboratively with internal and client management teams to prepare board slides and board-ready outputs.
• Serve as finance resource to clients on mission-critical projects, forecasting efforts and other requests.
• Assist in the development, implementation, and documentation of new process workflows that enable more automated modeling.

Who You Are

• Bachelor’s Degree in economics, finance, accounting, math, engineering or business.
• 2+ years of top-tier investment banking experience or big 4 audit experience.
• 4+ years of operational "industry" experience in finance and FP&A. Experience at mid/late-stage startups is preferred.
