Senior FP&A Analyst (Part-time)

Job Description - Senior FP&A Analyst (Part-time)

Senior FP&A Analyst



  • Part-Time (20 Hours/Week) -  Opportunity to Scale Full-Time

  • Employment type: Independant Contractor  

  • Remote 


The Opportunity


This is significantly more than an analyst role.


You'll become one of the first finance professionals inside the business, working directly alongside the founder to support clients while helping establish the systems, SOPs, and best practices that will shape the firm's future.


Initially, you'll focus on financial modeling, forecasting, reporting, and scenario analysis. Over time, you'll take ownership of client accounts, mentor future analysts, and help build the operating playbook for the company.


This role is ideal for someone who enjoys both analytical work and building processes inside an early-stage business.


What You'll Be Responsible For




  • Build sophisticated financial models for growing businesses




  • Perform FP&A, forecasting, budgeting, and scenario planning




  • Develop custom reports tailored to each client's needs




  • Analyze cash flow, profitability, and operational performance




  • Create headcount planning and hiring models




  • Support founders with strategic financial decision-making




  • Utilize AI tools (including Claude for Excel and similar technologies) to improve productivity




  • Help develop SOPs, documentation, and internal training materials




  • Collaborate closely with the AI Engineer to improve finance workflows




  • Gradually assume ownership of a portfolio of client relationships




What We're Looking For


Required




  • 5+ years of FP&A, Strategic Finance, Corporate Finance, or Financial Consulting experience




  • Exceptional Excel modeling skills




  • Experience with forecasting and scenario analysis




  • Experience supporting growing businesses or startups




  • Strong business judgment and analytical thinking




  • Self-starter who requires minimal oversight




  • Excellent communication skills




  • Comfortable working EST business hours




Preferred




  • Experience supporting CPG, eCommerce, retail, or consumer brands




  • Experience with SaaS businesses




  • Experience working inside consulting or fractional CFO firms




  • Familiarity with QuickBooks




  • Experience leveraging AI tools to improve finance workflows




The Ideal Candidate


You're the type of finance professional who can take a loosely defined request from a founder and independently build the right solution.


You don't need step-by-step instructions.


You understand business, communicate clearly, and enjoy helping founders make better decisions through financial insight.


You're excited by startups, enjoy creating order from ambiguity, and want to help build something from the ground up.


Why Join




  • Become one of the first hires in a rapidly growing finance consultancy




  • Work directly alongside an experienced founder




  • Help shape the firm's operating model and future team




  • Exposure to multiple high-growth consumer brands




  • Significant ownership and autonomy




  • Flexible remote work




  • Opportunity to grow into a Finance Manager or fractional CFO leadership role as the company expands
