Finance Expert (Remote) - 61624633389

Location: Remote (South Africa and LATAM)
Contract: Independent Contractor
Schedule: Full-Time, Monday-Friday, Flexible schedule.

This role is for someone who has personally owned real 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 people who understand how real businesses, transactions, forecasts, financing decisions, and messy source materials turn into a model.

The work spans areas such as:

• Investment Banking

• Credit

• Corporate Finance / Financial Planning and Analysis

• Debt Capital Markets

• Private Equity

• Risk

• Quantitative Finance

• Private Credit

• →

  Build financial models from scratch across a range of finance use cases.

• →

  Review and improve models built by other finance experts.

• →

  Create realistic finance scenarios, assumptions, and supporting source materials.

• →

  Build detailed revenue, cost, working capital, capital expenditure, debt, covenant, valuation, and scenario schedules.

• →

  Work with messy or incomplete information and turn it into a clear analytical structure.

• →

  Identify weak assumptions, broken logic, missing schedules, and oversimplified analysis.

• →

  Explain modeling choices clearly and defend the logic behind your work.

Strong candidates can look at a business situation and understand where the real economics live. They know the difference between complexity that matters and complexity that is just extra rows, tabs, or formatting.

We care about candidates who can say: “I built this. I understand the drivers. I know where the risks are. I can defend the logic.”
