FP&A Analyst

Pay: up to $40 – $125+ /hour (depends on task difficulty and specialization)

Location: Remote · Type: Independent contractor · Hours: Flexible hours · Payouts: Weekly

Overview

Ask a model to build a forecast and it returns a clean-looking model whose drivers do not connect, whose assumptions defy the business, and whose variance bridge does not tie to actuals. The formatting is immaculate; the logic leaks. An FP&A professional like you is who traces it back and makes it hold.

As an FP&A Analyst you'll evaluate AI work on planning, forecasting, and management reporting, test whether the model logic and assumptions hold up, and write the analysis a finance partner would present to the business.

What you’ll actually do

• Draft prompts that probe forecasting, budgeting, driver-based modeling, and management reporting.
• Review AI output for broken model logic, unrealistic assumptions, and variance analysis that does not tie, and rate the reasoning.
• Write the correct analysis when the model falls short, with assumptions a business partner could defend.

Roles this fits

Common backgrounds: FP&A Analyst, Finance Manager, Cost Accountant.
