This is a high-impact, non-reporting role with direct board exposure from day one.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain financial models across portfolio companies; produce EBITDA bridges, variance analyses, and monthly performance packs ready for board presentation
• Synthesize portfolio results into decision-grade board materials for senior decision-makers
• Support deal analysis, hold-versus-exit assessments, and capital allocation decisions; build DCF, LBO, and comparable models; conduct sector benchmarking
• Analyze unit economics, cost structures, and working capital to support turnaround and performance-improvement programs
• Use AI tools (Claude, Copilot, etc.) to accelerate financial analysis, automate reporting, and build dynamic dashboards

Requirements

• 3–4 years in investment banking, consulting (deals or performance improvement), or wealth/asset management
• Proficiency in financial modelling and valuation (DCF, LBO, comparables, scenario analysis)
• Ability to prepare and interpret financial statements (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow)
• Proven experience producing board-level materials for senior decision-makers
• Exposure to multi-entity, portfolio, or transformation environments
• Strong Excel skills; AI-assisted working practice a distinct advantage
• Relentless numeracy and genuine curiosity about what numbers mean
• Ability to handle sensitive information with discretion and confidentiality
• Bias for synthesis over data-dumping; intellectual honesty to flag bad numbers
• Self-direction and commercial instinct beyond finance technique
