Fundwell

Fundwell is a financial technology platform revolutionizing the way businesses access and manage capital. Traditional business financing often involves complex processes, hidden fees, and lengthy approval times. We're changing that and fast. Leveraging our proprietary technology, deep industry expertise, and ethical-first approach, we deliver quick, transparent, and tailored funding solutions to small and medium-sized businesses nationwide. Today, our platform is expanding beyond financing into receivables, payables, and embedded payments, giving businesses greater control over their cash flow. THE ROLE You will be the first capital markets hire and will own the entire funding stack - from financial modeling and lender origination through facility negotiation, closing, and ongoing compliance reporting. This is not a support role and it is not for someone who needs to be told what to do. You will sit at the table with warehouse lenders, family offices, and institutional investors, and you will be the person who builds the models they base their credit decisions on. You will work directly with the CEO on capital strategy and be a key voice in board-level discussions. We are looking for someone who is exceptionally sharp, moves fast, and has the intellectual horsepower to operate across financial modeling, legal negotiation, and investor relations simultaneously.

• Audit and stress-test the existing Excel model across all tabs (origination, portfolio, waterfall, warehouse, P&L, cash flow) for formula integrity, cross-tab consistency, and economic reasonableness • Rebuild or refine the payment waterfall to properly model SPV cash flows, priority of payments, and residual distributions under base, stress, and covenant-breach scenarios • Validate warehouse facility mechanics: advance rate calculations, borrowing base certificates, utilization tracking, unused commitment fees, and facility capacity constraints • Build covenant compliance tracking: DSCR coverage tests, concentration limits, delinquency triggers, and portfolio performance thresholds with early amortization modeling • Sensitize key assumptions (collection rates, chargeoff rates, factor rates, WAL) and produce scenario analysis output suitable for lender presentations • Ensure cash flow statement conforms to ASC 230 treatment for specialty lending (loan originations as investing, warehouse draws as financing, net income as operating) • Produce a clean, presentation-ready model with clear assumption inputs, documentation tab, and print-formatted summary pages
