Finance Associate

Job Summary

Flywheel Energy is seeking a Finance Associate to join our Finance team in a high-visibility, high-impact role at the center of our deal activity. You'll sit alongside the deal team on every acquisition -- underwriting, sensitizing, and pressure testing opportunities before they reach the investment committee -- and you'll own the financial models that underpin those decisions. This is a role with real ownership: your work directly shapes how we evaluate and pursue growth, and you'll have direct exposure to leadership and our financial sponsor from day one. Beyond deal support, you'll collaborate with FP&A and Corporate Finance on post-close execution and integration, support sourcing and firm-wide projects as we scale, and prepare recurring and one-off analyses for internal stakeholders. If you're early in your career and looking for a seat at the table -- not a back-office role -- this is it.

*This is an on-site position and only candidates currently located in the Oklahoma City area will be considered. 

Key Responsibilities

• Acquisition Underwriting & Financial Modeling --Builds and maintains financial models to evaluate acquisition opportunities, including cash flow analysis, valuation, returns modeling, and scenario analysis; leads sensitivity and stress-testing to pressure test assumptions before decisions are made
• Deal Presentation & Communication --Prepares investment presentations and materials, translating complex analysis into clear, decision-ready outputs
• Due Diligence Support --Supports due diligence processes for potential acquisitions, including data room review, financial statement analysis, and synthesis of findings into actionable recommendations
• Post-Close Execution & Integration --Partners with FP&A and Corporate Finance teams on post-close integration, performance tracking, and financial reporting for acquired assets
• Stakeholder Reporting & Firm Support --Prepares recurring and ad hoc financial analyses for internal stakeholders and our financial sponsor; supports sourcing efforts and other firm-wide projects as the business grows
