Contract Financial Modeler — Investment Banking & Corporate Finance (Excel)
Full-time independent contractor role, 40 hours/week.

Overview

We are partnering with a U.S.-based technology company building advanced AI systems focused on financial modeling and decision-making.

The goal is to train AI to think like real financial professionals: how models are built from scratch, how assumptions are structured, and how decisions are made using financial models.

This is a hands-on Excel modeling role. You will build detailed financial models from a blank spreadsheet and clearly explain your logic.

This is a highly selective search. We are only considering investment banking and corporate finance candidates from top-tier backgrounds with extensive, hands-on model-building experience.

This role IS:

Building financial models from a blank spreadsheet

Show full description

Structuring assumptions, drivers, and logic

Linking full model flows: operations → cash flow → valuation → returns

Debugging and improving model accuracy

Explaining why a model works, not just producing outputs

This role is NOT:

Dashboards, reporting, or data visualization

FP&A focused on reporting, budgeting, or variance analysis

Pitch decks, comps, or formatting work without building the underlying model

High-level strategy without hands-on modeling

Using AI tools to generate models

Investment Banking

Fully integrated 3-statement models

DCF and sum-of-the-parts valuation built from first principles

Merger models: accretion/dilution, purchase price allocation, synergies

LBO analysis in support of sponsor or sell-side processes

Live deal execution on M&A, capital markets, or restructuring transactions

Corporate Finance

Corporate development models: acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures

Capital structure, financing, and capital allocation decisions

Long-range operating models that drive investment or strategic decisions

Treasury modeling: liquidity, debt capacity, and refinancing analysis

What You'll Do

Build financial models from scratch in Excel across different use cases

Review and debug models built by others

Identify incorrect assumptions, broken logic, and risks

Analyze relationships across operations, cash flow, valuation, and returns

Clearly explain financial logic and decision-making

What Makes a Strong Candidate

2–10 years in finance roles with heavy, hands-on modeling

Experience at a bulge-bracket bank, elite boutique, or a major corporate development or corporate finance team

Direct work on live transactions or major investment decisions, backed by models you built yourself

Experience with U.S. businesses, U.S. clients, or U.S. GAAP

Proven ability to build models from a blank spreadsheet (no templates)

High attention to detail and model accuracy

Strong communication skills (English required)

Not a Fit If

Your experience is primarily:

Reviewing models, making small updates, or producing pitch decks, comps, or outputs

FP&A reporting, budgeting, or dashboards

Research or valuation support without building full models

BI tools, analytics workflows, or reporting automation

Or:

You have not built full financial models yourself

You rely heavily on templates, tools, or AI to generate models

You are not comfortable explaining your work in detail

Interview Process

All candidates complete a ~3-hour take-home Excel modeling exercise.

Designed to reflect real-world modeling work

Must be completed independently in Excel

Final Note

Candidates with private equity, credit, or debt modeling experience should apply to our Private Equity & Credit posting instead.
