Turn complex financial questions into clear, defensible decisions.

Elevate Consulting is looking for a Consultant, Finance who can take complex financial, operational and organizational information, make sense of it, build rigorous analysis and turn that work into recommendations senior leaders can actually use.

You may be building a multi-year financial model one day, assessing funding or cost-management options the next, and developing an executive presentation that distills complicated analysis into a clear decision.

This is a consulting role for someone who enjoys boththinking and doing. You will need strong analytical capability, sound judgment, excellent communication skills and the ability to work independently in an environment where the answer is not always obvious.

What You’ll Do

As a Consultant, Finance, you will work across a variety of client engagements involving financial analysis, business planning, organizational decision-making and transformation.

Your work may include:

• Developing complex multi-year and multi-variable financial, economic and scenario models.
• Conducting financial reviews, assessments and analysis.
• Completing cost-benefit analysis, benchmarking, activity-based costing and options analysis.
• Developing financial forecasts, funding models and cost-management strategies.
• Assessing project, program or organizational benefits and benefit realization.
• Reviewing financial information and identifying key risks, opportunities and implications.
• Translating detailed analysis into clear recommendations for executives and decision-makers.
• Creating concise, executive-level reports, presentations and decision materials.
• Supporting workshops, client meetings and stakeholder discussions.
• Managing your own workstreams and contributing to larger consulting engagements.
• Supporting business development, including identifying opportunities, contributing to proposals and helping develop new client relationships.

What We’ll Look for When We Meet You

While your resume tells us what you have done, it does not tell us nearly enough about how you think. During the interview process, we will be paying close attention to your ability to:

• Break down a complicated problem and identify what actually matters.
• Apply judgment when there is no perfect answer.
• Ask thoughtful questions before jumping to a solution.
• Explain complex financial concepts in plain language.
• Write and communicate clearly.
• Listen carefully to clients and colleagues.
• Work comfortably with incomplete information and changing priorities.
• Manage details without losing sight of the bigger picture.
• Take ownership of your work and follow through.
• Receive feedback, challenge assumptions respectfully and improve your thinking.
• Use technology and AI thoughtfully without outsourcing the thinking itself.
• Balance analytical rigour with pragmatism.

Shortlisted candidates will complete a brief practical exercise. We are interested in seeing how you approach the work, organize information and communicate your thinking.
