## Side work as a financial analyst: what to know

Financial analysts are hired part time for work a busy finance team keeps postponing: a cleaner forecast model, a board pack that tells one story, a variance analysis that explains the numbers instead of repeating them. These tasks are usually one-off, with a clear deliverable and a review call at the end.

The skills that sell are modelling discipline and writing. A model that someone else can open, follow and update is worth more than a clever one. If you work in a bank or a fund, check the personal dealing and outside-interest rules before you start; many firms ask for written approval even when the side task has nothing to do with markets.

In our data: 1,920 open tasks across the 4 roles that fit a financial analyst, 67% of them remote. The typical senior rate for FP&A Analyst is $90 in the US, £40 in the UK, CA$65 in Canada and €50 in Germany an hour, before the company's 15% fee. The other roles that fit are Financial Model Reviewer, Treasury & Cash-Flow Analyst, AI Evaluator: Finance. Most of these tasks are sized for 4 to 10 hours a week. Rates come from official wage statistics aged to October 2026; see [the full table by country](https://deftridge.com/rates/fpa-analyst/).

## Before you take side work

Three checks that take ten minutes.

- Read the outside-work, conflict-of-interest and confidentiality clauses in your employment contract. If it asks for consent, ask in writing.

- Do not take tasks from a direct competitor of your employer.

- Use your own equipment and your own time. [Read the guide](https://deftridge.com/guides/check-your-contract-before-side-work/)

## Questions about pay, fees and privacy

The same rules apply to every task, so they live on two pages: [Pricing](https://deftridge.com/pricing/) explains the 15% fee, prepayment and when you are paid; [How it works](https://deftridge.com/how-it-works/) covers matching, what a company sees and side work next to a job.
