Short-term project: Model Our Business in Excel (Jersey City, NJ)

The Connors Group, a Jersey City-based company with 25+ employees, is planning its 2010 - 2011 budget and reorganizing its internal financial-planning process. As part of this project we need a new Excel-based budgeting system to forecast our income statement, balance sheet, cash availability and other financial measures. As a small business, however, we do not need a full-time planner / forecaster so we plan to hire a temporary staffer to assist us for the duration of the project.

You will be responsible for the construction, documentation and refinement of a complex Excel spreadsheet that models our entire business. Although we have an existing model that we use today for projections, we intend to begin this new model "from scratch" so as to assure complete control over estimations and calculations. You will work closely with the Controller and the Chief Operating Officer and also on your own. The tool you create will become an essential part of our ongoing planning and management process.

You will have previous work experience in a financial capacity that makes you fluent in company financial reporting, or be studying towards an MBA with a financial focus. You need to understand the basics of corporate accounting -- income statements, balance sheets, and cash-flow statements. This work requires diligence, an attention to detail, and strong written and spoken communication skills, as well as in-depth familiarity with Excel 2007 (proficient with vlookups, data validation tables, what-if scenarios, etc).

This is an ideal opportunity for someone seeking "real world" experience on a part-time basis with flexible work hours. The position is available to begin immediately and continue part-time to year end 2009. Our office is on the waterfront in Jersey City, near PATH, light rail, and ferries, and accessible from Manhattan and the other boroughs as well as from New Jersey.
