Interim M&A / Private Equity / Corporate Development/ Strategy Consultant

We are a publicly traded fintech company seeking a highly analytical, detail-oriented part-time financial modeling / M&A analyst to support the evaluation of acquisition opportunities. The role focuses on building and refining detailed financial models to assess potential M&A targets, conducting valuation analysis, and supporting internal investment decision-making. The ideal candidate will have 2–3 years of experience in investment banking, private equity, or corporate development with significant financial modeling experience, and is comfortable working independently in a fast-paced, deal-oriented environment. This is a part-time engagement requiring advanced Excel skills and the ability to build models from scratch using raw financial data. Responsibilities: / Build and maintain dynamic 3-statement operating models with monthly, quarterly, and annual projections. / Evaluate private, early-stage acquisition opportunities, analyzing target company financial models, statements, and KPIs. / Develop internal operating models based on target company financials and key performance indicators. / Conduct DCF, comparable company, and precedent transaction analyses to support valuation of M&A targets. / Perform scenario and sensitivity analyses to stress-test key assumptions and value drivers. / Support preparation of investment committee materials and summary memos to inform internal decision-making. / Identify key value drivers, risks, and integration considerations for each acquisition opportunity. / Refine existing models for accuracy, clarity, and auditability to ensure institutional-quality deliverables. Requirements: / Possess 2–3 years of experience in investment banking, private equity, corporate development, or transaction advisory. / Demonstrate advanced Excel financial modeling skills with the ability to build dynamic 3-statement models from scratch. / Show strong understanding of valuation methodologies, including approaches appropriate for private, early-stage startups. / Exhibit experience building models from raw data and financial statements — not just modifying existing templates. / Possess high attention to detail and strong analytical skills with the ability to work independently with minimal supervision. / Show comfort working in a fast-paced, deal-oriented environment with multiple concurrent evaluation workstreams. Nice to Have: / Experience in fintech, financial services, or technology sectors is highly advantageous. / Familiarity with early-stage and growth-stage company valuation, including revenue-based, ARR-based, or user-based valuation frameworks. / Prior experience at a publicly traded company, including familiarity with public company disclosure considerations in M&A evaluation. / Exposure to investment committee processes and the ability to synthesize complex analyses into concise, decision-ready materials. / Experience with integration planning or post-acquisition financial tracking as a complementary skill set. / Professional qualifications such as CFA (or progress toward) or equivalent. Scope of Work: / Build and refine detailed financial models on a part-time basis to support ongoing evaluation of acquisition opportunities. / Conduct valuation analyses (DCF, comps, precedents) for each target, tailored to early-stage and private company contexts. / Perform scenario and sensitivity analyses to quantify upside, downside, and base-case outcomes for each opportunity. / Prepare investment committee materials and summary memos synthesizing key findings, risks, and recommendations. / Refine and audit existing models to ensure accuracy, clarity, and institutional-quality standards. / Work independently with minimal supervision, coordinating with the internal deal team as needed.
