Financial Modeling Specialist (FP&A, Investment Banking & Strategic Finance) – Remote | U.S. Hours Position Type: Full-Time, Remote Working Hours: U.S. Client Business Hours
About the Role
At Pavago , one of our clients — a YC-backed (W25) technology company — is hiring a Financial Modeling Specialist to build, review, and improve sophisticated financial and business models used within structured AI training workflows.
This is a highly analytical, execution-focused role for finance professionals with strong backgrounds in financial modeling, FP&A, investment banking, private equity, strategic finance, corporate finance, or financial consulting .
You’ll build complete financial and operating models, develop forecasting and KPI frameworks, review models for accuracy and structural integrity, and help establish scalable modeling standards.
This role is ideal for someone who can take broad financial requirements, structure them independently, and produce clean, accurate, scalable, and well-documented financial models .
Exposure to fast-growing technology or startup environments.
What Makes You a Strong Fit
You:
Think in models, drivers, assumptions, and financial relationships.
Can turn an ambiguous business problem into a structured analytical framework.
Understand how the three financial statements interact.
Catch formula errors and logical inconsistencies quickly.
Challenge assumptions instead of accepting them at face value.
Build models that another finance professional can easily audit.
Care deeply about accuracy, consistency, and documentation.
Can explain complex financial logic clearly.
Work effectively without needing detailed step-by-step instructions.
Enjoy highly analytical, focused work.
Maintain quality even when working through complex or repetitive modeling tasks.
What a Typical Day Looks Like
Your day may include:
Building financial and operating models from broad requirements.
Developing assumptions and financial drivers.
Refining revenue, expense, and cash flow forecasts.
Building KPI and scenario-analysis frameworks.
Reviewing models created by other analysts.
Auditing formulas and identifying modeling inconsistencies.
Testing whether financial statements and assumptions align correctly.
Participating in working sessions around modeling standards.
Providing structured feedback to other analysts.
Updating modeling templates and documentation.
Improving the consistency and scalability of financial frameworks.
In short: you build, audit, and improve sophisticated financial models that bring high-quality financial reasoning into advanced AI training workflows.
Key Metrics for Success (KPIs)
Accuracy and integrity of financial models.
Quality of financial assumptions and modeling logic.
Reliability of model outputs.
Speed and consistency of model delivery.
Reduction in formula, structural, and accounting errors.
Quality and scalability of modeling frameworks.
Clarity of financial documentation.
Quality of peer model reviews.
Ability to deliver complex analytical work independently.
Why This Role Stands Out
Work with a YC-backed technology company operating at the intersection of finance and AI.
Apply investment banking, FP&A, and strategic finance skills to emerging AI applications.
Work on sophisticated financial modeling problems rather than transactional accounting.
High ownership and analytical autonomy.
Exposure to advanced financial modeling frameworks.
Opportunity to help improve how AI systems work with financial and business models.
Collaborate with highly analytical and technical teams.
Fully remote opportunity with long-term growth potential.
