Overview

AfterQuery, an early-stage Y Combinator-backed company, brings on corporate finance and FP&A professionals for short project runs. The work mirrors what a corporate development or FP&A group handles: you build financial models, apply accounting rules to real-world cases, and trace how those choices land on the P&L, cash flow and balance sheet. Each project lasts two to three weeks and you set your own hours, with 10 to 20 hours a week typical for the assignments you accept. Deliverables go out on your schedule and new work arrives one project at a time.

What You'll Do6

Build detailed financial models that answer the specific finance questions in a project brief
Work through accounting edge cases such as net operating losses, deferred tax assets and operating leases
Carry complex accounting and tax treatments into forecasted income statements, cash flow statements and balance sheets
Document the assumptions behind each modeling choice so a reviewer can follow your logic
Deliver finished analysis inside a two to three week window at roughly 10 to 20 hours a week
Take on additional projects one at a time as your availability allows

Requirements5

One to three years of hands-on experience in corporate finance or FP&A
Working command of financial modeling and core accounting principles
Ability to connect accounting and tax decisions to their effect on the three financial statements
Track record of finishing analysis without day-to-day supervision
Readiness to interpret an ambiguous brief and choose a defensible modeling approach

Who Should Apply

Early-career finance analysts with one to three years in corporate finance or FP&A who want real modeling reps on complex accounting topics. The role fits someone sharpening a case for investment banking, private equity or hedge fund recruiting.

Salary Insight

The listing posts $80/hr, while AfterQuery describes project pay starting around $60/hr and reaching up to $100/hr. That band runs above typical entry-level corporate finance pay for one to three years of experience, which tracks with the short, specialized nature of each engagement.
