Financial Modelling Specialist

At Gratia, we believe potential is globally distributed, but opportunity is not. Our mission is to turn great talent's potential into fulfilling global careers through professional development and tech-enabled platforms. We bridge the gap between ambitious companies and hands-on experts who deliver real results instead of just theoretical plans.

In this role, you aren’t just filling out spreadsheets—you are building the technical tools that steer global organizations. You will be matched with projects that require hands-on builds of integrated models, valuations, and forecasting dashboards for clients like USA Today Co. and Endeavor.

Why join Gratia's network?

High-impact projects: Work directly with companies like Apollo and Endeavor, solving real operational challenges—not theoretical exercises.

Flexibility & autonomy: Choose projects that match your expertise and availability. Work remotely, set your own rhythm, and grow your portfolio across industries.

Apprenticeship & growth: A curated pathway combining high-value projects with mentorship. Move from "doing" to "leading" through real work.

Community of top talent: Join a network of experienced specialists who collaborate across disciplines on complex engagements.

What you’ll be doing

Model building: Build and scale driver-based 3-statement models (P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow) and multi-year projections.

Valuation analysis: Perform company and asset valuations using DCF frameworks, comparable company analysis, and precedent transactions.

Scenario & risk testing: Design "what-if" frameworks and sensitivity analysis to quantify risk and upside for stakeholders.

Data-driven analysis: Use financial math and modelling techniques to provide technical clarity for market entry, operations, or fundraising.

Deliverable ownership: Ensure every cell is accurate, logic is transparent, and every visual output is clear for the end-user.

What we’re looking for

Professional experience in financial modelling, typically gained within investment banking, private equity, or corporate finance environments.

Experience from MBB (McKinsey, Bain, BCG), Big 4, or another recognized firm is a plus.

Comfort with 3-statement integration, DCF valuations, and data tables. Senior-level candidates should demonstrate mastery of complex risk-quantification and advanced simulations.

The ability to transform messy, raw data into structured and logical business solutions.

You thrive when given a spec and expected to deliver a production-ready model with minimal oversight.

Exceptional communication skills; you must be able to document your assumptions and explain your model logic clearly.

Range of deliverables

This is a tiered role; your specific level will be determined during our conversations based on your technical skills, professional journey, and your readiness to manage client relationships.

Junior: Budget templates, revenue/cost projections, and variance analysis.

Intermediate: Fully integrated 3-statement models and scenario dashboards.

Advanced: Complex LBO/M&A models and risk-quantification simulations.

Why Gratia is your next step

This is a long-term contract/freelance role designed for independent professionals who want the freedom of private practice without the isolation of working alone.

We offer both part-time and full-time engagement options.

Compensation is tailored to your expertise.

Elevate your profile by working directly with leaders at innovative global organizations like Gannett and Portrait Analytics.
