Financial Analyst — Bengaluru

Stellar Fusion is hiring a Financial Analyst in Bengaluru. Finance meets AI — you'll use your corporate finance and modelling knowledge to build financial data infrastructure for investment banks and asset managers.

Role Overview

We turn sell-side analysts' Excel models into structured, AI-ready financial data. We ingest models, map every line item to a standard financial taxonomy, and deliver clean data to clients through AI integrations and embedded platforms. Our clients make investment decisions on this data, so the finance has to be right.

You'll join our team in Bengaluru, reporting to the Co-Founder in London. You'll work daily with senior analysts and engineers across both offices.

You'll read analyst models the way a senior analyst would: checking that the numbers hold together, that forecasts and valuation assumptions make sense, and that each line item means what it says. You'll also test platform features, write product specs, and use AI tools daily, but your financial judgement is what the role depends on. We figure things out together — when someone finds a problem, the team solves it; when someone learns something new, everyone hears about it.

Who This Role Is For

This role suits someone who thinks like an investor: you enjoy working out what a business is worth and why, you're comfortable with financial models, and you notice when the numbers don't make sense. You may come from equity research, investment banking, corporate finance, M&A;, private equity, valuation advisory or a financial research team, and want to work closer to technology.

Corporate finance and valuation knowledge are at the heart of this role. Experience with technology and AI tools is a welcome bonus, and something you'll build on here.

Responsibilities

Financial Model Review & Quality Assurance — Review sell-side analyst Excel models across sectors and map them to our financial taxonomy. Check that the income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement link and balance, that historical figures tie back to company filings, and that forecasts, KPIs and valuation outputs are consistent. Find structural issues, formula errors and mapping inconsistencies. Every model must be publication-ready before it reaches clients.





Platform Testing from an Analyst's Perspective — Test features and bug fixes across the full platform — not just the obvious scenarios. Check that the numbers coming out are financially correct, and think through the cases analysts actually meet: restated historicals, non-calendar fiscal years, currencies and units, adjusted versus reported figures, and non-standard line items.

Product Documentation & Feature Development — Write specs for new features. Turn your financial expertise into product ideas: what analysts and investors need, and how the data should behave. Prototype solutions using Claude and other AI tools.

AI-Assisted Financial Analysis — Claude and Claude Code are daily tools here — for model review, documentation, debugging and speeding up routine work. You'll push the boundary of AI applied to financial data, and your finance knowledge is what makes that output trustworthy. If you're new to these tools, you'll learn them on the job alongside the team.

Client & Analyst Communication — Onboard sell-side analysts, discuss their models with them in their own language, troubleshoot issues, and support their use of the platform and our AI integrations. Translate financial context into clear requirements developers can act on.

Collaboration & Knowledge Sharing — Small team, high trust, and everyone contributes. You'll review each other's models, share what you've learned, and catch what others miss. The best people here are the ones who make everyone around them better. We work from our Bengaluru office — being together is how we learn fast and build well.
