About Us
We're a small, lean team supporting an entrepreneur who has built a $50M+ annual revenue portfolio of 35+ franchise locations and an online education business that helps other franchise owners scale to build wealth.
You'll work directly with the owner. No layers, bureaucracy, or corporate nonsense.
This is a team of doers where your work actually matters and gets used immediately.
About the Role
We're looking for a sharp, numbers-driven Financial Analyst to research franchise opportunities, build financial models, and turn complicated P&Ls into clear, simple insights that drive content and business decisions.
This is not a corporate finance job. You'll be digging into real businesses, real deals, and real numbers, then making sense of them in a way anyone can understand.
If you love breaking down businesses, understanding what makes them work (or not), and can take messy financials and make them simple - this role is for you.
What You'll Do

• Build simple, clear financial models for franchise brands using real P&L data
• Research business opportunities on listing sites like BizBuySell
• Create deal summaries that highlight what matters: investment, returns, risks, upside
• Support due diligence on potential partnership and acquisition opportunities
• Help analyze internal business performance metrics (funnels, conversion rates, LTV, etc)

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience in finance, accounting, or business analysis
• Strong financial modeling skills in Google Sheets or Excel
• Experience in an entrepreneurial, small business, or fast-paced environment (not just big corporate)
• Ability to work independently and make informed decisions without hand-holding
• Clear written and verbal communication in English
• You can take something complicated and explain it simply

Bonus If You Have...

• Exposure to multi-unit businesses, small business acquisitions, or franchising
• Familiarity with online education, membership businesses, or digital marketing metrics
• Experience analyzing deals or investment opportunities

You're a Fit If...

• You genuinely enjoy breaking down businesses and understanding the numbers
• You're proactive - you find problems and opportunities, not just wait for assignments
• You thrive in small teams where you own your work
• You're comfortable with ambiguity and figuring things out
