Senior Financial Analyst

Overview

With an enduring pipeline of exciting financial modelling assignments and advisory mandates, an opportunity has opened to join our financial modelling team

This role offers an opportunity to build an extensive knowledge of financial modelling to complement their existing strong accounting, finance, and Excel skills, whilst also developing client-facing, project management and consulting competence. We offer a diverse, welcoming and supportive working environment. Upon completion of our in-house training programme, you will benefit from immediate 'on the job' experience that comes with working for a small, dynamic company.

The role requires working to tight deadlines, prioritising workload, project management and providing a high level of client service at all times. The level of responsibility you will be given will only be limited by your willingness to learn and to take on new challenges. As your familiarity with best practice financial modelling increases, the opportunity to support junior members of our team through mentoring and on-the-job training will arise.

The responsibilities for this role are broad and not restricted to simply modelling all-day, every-day. We like to form well-rounded individuals who are technically proficient, but are also commercially astute, and able to apply themselves to wider business initiatives. The key responsibilities are:

• Working with senior team members to scope, design and develop complex financial models for financing transactions and operational infrastructure assets and companies
• Responding to day-to-day queries raised by clients and other advisers in respect of these financial models and participation in client meetings
• Assisting our financial advisory team on live transactions, primarily in a financial modelling and analysis capacity but sometimes through wider commercial input (e.g. reviewing key documentation)
• Upon gaining sufficient experience, develop and train junior team members
• Contributing to business development initiatives (attending industry events, market research, networking with similar-level peers working for our clients and prospective clients)

We are looking for talented and well-rounded individuals, although there is no 'correct' background, the following experience is helpful in ensuring you are fully equipped for the role:

• Minimum 2 years' experience in a role with exposure to corporate/project finance transactions and/or accounting/tax related work (e.g. at an advisory firm, bank, professional services firm etc.); and
• Previous experience of developing and/or reviewing and/or maintaining financial models; and
• Minimum 2:1 undergraduate degree from a leading university (exceptional candidates without such qualifications will be considered); or
• Holder of ACA, CFA or other accounting/finance related qualification

Some key skills we look for are:

• Experience and desire to use Microsoft Excel as a tool for problem solving
• Strong numerical and analytical skills, combined with sound commercial awareness
• Excellent attention to detail
• Well-developed communication skills (verbal and written English)
• Ability to operate effectively as part of a small project team with both senior and junior colleagues
• Ability to operate confidently in front of clients and build credible relationships at all levels
• Ability to work independently and prioritise workload without significant direction and under pressure
• Ability to quickly grasp complex concepts and convey these succinctly, clearly, and confidently
• Comfortable developing solutions where client requirements are unclear, or where these change at short notice

Life at Evo Infa gives you the opportunity to thrive in a dynamic, entrepreneurial and supportive environment, providing an invaluable platform to further your career in infrastructure finance
