Why This Job: CONTRACT FINANCIAL ANALYST

Our client is seeking a highly skilled Financial Analyst with advanced Excel and financial modeling expertise for a key temporary assignment. Working directly with executive leadership, you will build comprehensive annual budgets, construct flexible long-range financial models, and develop business case/ROI models for brand-new strategic projects. This role requires clean, ground-up financial modeling skills with no prior industry-specific experience required.

What You’ll Do:

• Budgeting & Long-Range Planning: Build a scalable annual budget model and a flexible multi-year forecast model using existing P&L structures, historical data, and consolidated operating levels.
• Template & Location Modeling: Standardize and replicate financial models across distinct market P&Ls, individual operating locations, and company-wide consolidations.
• Strategic Business Cases: Time permitting, construct ROI, investment, and scenario/sensitivity models from scratch for new initiatives where limited historical data exists.
• Excel Streamlining & Validation: Build clean, intuitive workbooks from the ground up, validating outputs against historical financial data to streamline FP&A workflows.
• Ad Hoc Analysis: Partner with leadership on ad hoc financial analysis and strategic modeling projects.

To Be Successful in this Role, You Will Need:

• Strong FP&A / Modeling Background: Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or related field with strong corporate finance/FP&A background.
• Advanced Excel Expertise: Proven ability to build clean, complex financial models from a blank workbook—not just maintain existing templates.
• Financial Statement Mastery: Strong understanding of P&Ls, budgeting, forecasting, and core financial statement relationships.
• Analytical & Problem-Solving Mindset: Ability to translate abstract business concepts into structured models independently and perform well when modeling approaches are not strictly defined.
• Bonus Skills: Multi-location business experience or familiarity with Microsoft Dynamics GP (or similar ERP systems) is a plus.

Where and How Much:

• Pay Rate: $50 - $55/hour
• Location & Schedule: Hybrid schedule in North Denver – Flexible start/stop time
• Duration: 4+ month commitment, with potential to extend or convert to a permanent role.
