Location: Remote (South Africa and LATAM)

Contract: Independent Contractor

Schedule: Full-Time, Monday-Friday, EST

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."

Qualifications

• 2-8+ years of relevant finance experience.
• 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.
• Strong ability to build financial models from scratch.
• Advanced Excel modeling skills.
• Expert understanding of finance concepts including cash flow analysis, valuation, leverage, liquidity, capital structure, debt structures, and risk assessment.
• Ability to work independently and solve ambiguous problems.
• Exceptional attention to detail.
• Strong written and verbal English communication skills.
  
  

Nice to Have

• Experience with complex debt structures, structured finance, commercial real estate, infrastructure, project finance, restructuring, or leveraged finance models.
• Experience designing or reviewing modeling tests, case studies, training materials, or finance assessments.
• Familiarity with AI tools, automation, workflow optimization, or data-driven financial processes.
• Experience mentoring analysts or reviewing work produced by junior finance professionals.
