## About this task

This telecom software company in IoT connectivity (51–200 employees) is looking for a specialist FP&A Analyst for a single piece of work with a fixed scope and a fixed price. A template and guidance that department heads can fill in without help.

It is a self-contained job: scope, checklist and price are agreed before you start. It is a telecom company, with large datasets and long-running programmes.

The work is fully remote. Any location in United States works, with a few hours of overlap with the team's day. You choose your hours; nothing is scheduled except an occasional short call. About 2 hours a week should overlap with the team's day (ET).

## What you deliver

- Create a budget template with drop-downs, checks and a one-page guide, then collect and consolidate six submissions.

- A final note stating what was checked and what was left out of scope

- A 20-minute walkthrough call, or a recorded screen share if you prefer

- The finished deliverable in the agreed file format, with sources and assumptions listed

## How the work runs

- Day 1: kickoff call and access to the files

- Days 2 to 6: the work, with questions answered the same day

- Last day: delivery and a short walkthrough

**Duration:** 1 to 2 weeks. Accepted after the walkthrough. Edits requested within three working days are part of the price.

## Tools

Excel Google Sheets

## Who fits

- 2-5 years of hands-on work as an FP&A Analyst, or the equivalent mix of roles

- Comfortable working in Excel and Google Sheets

- Your own work history stays private; the company sees a first name, your field and a rate

### Nice to have

- Used to short written handovers

- Comfortable explaining numbers or decisions to a non-specialist reader

## Not included

- Managing other contractors or employees

- On-call availability outside the agreed window

- Anything that needs a signature in your own name unless the brief says so

## How you get paid

- The company prepays Deftridge before your first hour, so payment does not depend on a late invoice.

- Deftridge pays you in USD after the company confirms the hours or the deliverable. The payment date is written in your task agreement.

- You work as an independent contractor: you report your own income, and your recruiter sends the statements your accountant needs.

- You never chase the company. Questions about money go to Deftridge.

## What happens after you say you're interested

1. **Within one working day** A recruiter writes to you to confirm your hours and the rate you want.

1. **You agree the rate** You and the recruiter fix an exact rate inside the company's range. You decide whether to go ahead.

1. **With your written OK** The company sees the anonymous profile below. Most companies answer within three working days.

1. **Start** You sign the task agreement and the company's confidentiality terms through Deftridge, and begin on the date above.
