Financial Data Analyst- Financial Modeling
2 weeks ago
Job Summary
We are seeking a highly skilled Data Analyst with a strong focus on financial modeling. In this role, financial modeling is the core responsibility—you will spend most of your time building and refining models that drive strategic client decisions. Data skills (SQL, Python, BigQuery) will enable you to scale and optimize that work.
This role is client-facing: you'll collaborate directly with CFOs and other analysts to deliver outputs seen by clients. Accuracy, clarity, and attention to detail are critical, as mistakes can directly impact client trust. The ideal candidate is passionate about financial modeling, eager to learn across industries, and thrives in a collaborative, fast-changing environment.
Key Responsibilities
1. Financial Modeling (Core)
o Build, refine, and maintain cash flow forecasts, KPI analytics, and operating financial models.
o Ensure models are modular, intuitive, and user-friendly, enabling broad usability across multiple clients.
o Translate P&L statements, KPIs, and financial data into actionable forecasts and insights.
2. Client-Facing Analysis
o Deliver financial insights directly to clients with clarity and professionalism.
o Collaborate with CFOs and analysts to provide strategic recommendations.
o Adapt quickly to different industries and business models—no two clients are alike.
3. Data Analysis & Reporting
o Use SQL (preferably Google BigQuery) to collect and analyze datasets.
o Apply Python for advanced data processing, automation, and visualization.
o Support the design of scalable systems for financial data and KPI analysis.
4. Collaboration & Problem-Solving
o Work closely with cross-functional teams in a highly collaborative environment.
o Contribute to new approaches, dashboards, and tools that push the boundaries of how CFOs operate.
o Approach challenges with creativity, intellectual sharpness, and entrepreneurial spirit.
Required Qualifications
· Bachelor's degree from a top-tier university in Data Analytics, Finance, Computer Science, Engineering or a related field.
· Proven expertise in financial modeling (cash flow forecasting, KPI analytics, operating models).
· Proficiency in SQL and Python.
· Strong financial acumen and understanding of operating-level finance.
· Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills with attention to detail.
Preferred Qualifications
· Experience with Google BigQuery or similar cloud SQL environments.
· Familiarity with data pipelines, ETL processes, or scalable data workflows.
· Exposure to cloud platforms such as GCP.
· Advanced Excel/Google Sheets skills for financial modeling.
· Experience with B2C (consumer product) companies.
· Familiarity with BI/analytics tools such as Looker, Tableau, or dbt (helpful, not required).
Soft Skills
· Passion for financial modeling—comfortable working on it daily.
· High accountability: understands the sensitivity of client-facing work.
· Strong communication skills to explain complex insights clearly.
· Ability to learn quickly and adapt to changing client needs.
· Entrepreneurial mindset with curiosity and creativity.
What You'll Gain
· Exposure to a wide range of clients, industries, and metrics.
· The opportunity to build financial products and models that shape CFO functions across companies.
· A collaborative environment where sharp thinkers and problem-solvers thrive.
