Fintalent note: This is a particularly interesting project. It's with a private equity rollup vehicle ~recently acquired by a large private equity fund. It will be at least 3 months long and have multiple stages to it, and if done well, you will likely have opportunities within the broader private equity fund's portfolio.

It will then transition to building out 13 week cash flow models. The ideal candidate will meet the following criteria. This is fully remote and can be done from any geography, although the client is US East coast based. We kindly ask that you provide an example of prior work that you've done (e.g., sophisticated forecasting, monthly modeling that looks clean and clear, 13 week cash flow modeling.
