Fundraising Model Sanity Check (Excel)

About this task

This savings and loan group serving small businesses (201–500 employees) is looking for a senior Financial Model Reviewer for a paid one-hour session with a senior specialist. Investor-grade review of a startup model before it is sent out.

The company has one decision to take and wants a senior view before it does. It is a regulated bank; the work is documented and reviewed before anything is signed off.

The work is fully remote. Any location in United States works, with a few hours of overlap with the team's day. The call is booked at a time that suits you, evenings included.

What you deliver

• Check a seed-round model for hard-coded numbers, circularity and unrealistic growth, then send a prioritised list.
• One focused hour, with the questions sent to you the day before
• No preparation outside the hour unless you both agree to extend
• Pointers to sources you relied on, so the company can check them

How the work runs

• Day 1: scope confirmed in writing, files shared
• Middle of the period: draft shared for early feedback
• Last day: final version and handover note

Duration: One session of about an hour. Accepted on the company's written OK. If something is missed, you fix it in the same week at no extra charge to either side.

How you get paid

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