Analyst Apprenticeship (Remote, Part-Time)
The Ronin Society helps founder‑led companies grow by giving them clear financial models, monthly visibility, and strategic decision support. We’re building a small, sharp cohort of 3 Analyst Apprentices to work directly with our lead analyst and strategist team.
This is a paid, part‑time (10 hours/week), 3‑month apprenticeship designed for people early in their careers who want real‑world FP&A experience across multiple small/growing companies.
If you’re detail‑oriented, technically sharp, and enjoy working with numbers and spreadsheets, this is for you.
What You’ll Do
You’ll join our Analyst Apprenticeship Program and support our team with:
- Monthly financial close tasks for multiple clients
- Updating financial models (we use a standardized model we’ll train you on)
- Pulling, cleaning, and organizing data from bookkeeping systems (e.g., QuickBooks)
- Running and checking basic reports (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, KPIs)
- Performing quality checks on models (QA: catching formula errors, inconsistencies, missing data)
- Documenting your work clearly so the team can review and reuse it
You’ll work under the guidance of our lead analyst (Mary) and senior strategist (Alex), with structured training and clear checklists.
What You’ll Learn
Over 3 months, you will:
- See how FP&A is done for real founder‑led businesses (multiple industries)
- Learn how to support a monthly close process in a consulting environment
- Learn how to maintain and update driver‑based financial models
- Get exposed to how strategy, forecasting, and financial planning come together
- Build a portfolio of real work you can talk about in future roles
At the end of the program, you’ll receive a certificate of completion from The Ronin Society, and our best apprentices may be:
- Offered an extension / expanded role, or
- Invited back for future part‑time analyst work as our client base grows
