ABOUT ARVA
Arva Intelligence is an agricultural data and environmental asset company headquartered in Houston. We help growers, agribusinesses, and energy companies turn on-farm practices into measurable value through Scope 3 carbon insetting, 45Z clean fuel tax credit intermediation, carbon removals through Arva Natural Capital, and our data and SaaS platform.
THE ROLE
We are looking for a Finance Associate to join a small, high-impact finance team. You will work directly with the CFO on capital raising, financial modeling, investor and board materials, and transaction analysis. Our accounting team owns the close, reporting, and controls. This role owns the forward-looking finance work. You will have real exposure to leadership, the board, and investors from day one.
The ideal candidate comes from investment banking or private equity as an analyst ready to move into a corporate finance role and put their financial modeling skills to work at an early-stage company. This is path that may lead to a CFO opportunity in the future.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
- Maintain the company's three-statement financial model, including revenue builds for each business line, scenario analysis, and long-range forecasts
- Support equity and debt capital raises: investor presentations, data room management, offering document support, dilution and returns analysis, and investor diligence requests
- Build pricing and deal economics models for carbon, environmental asset, and 45Z tax credit transactions
- Prepare monthly and quarterly board materials, KPI dashboards, and management reporting
- Assist with the annual budget and rolling forecast process in partnership with department heads
- Produce 13-week cash flow and working capital forecasts with the accounting team
- Analyze unit economics, margins, and customer profitability across revenue streams
- Evaluate strategic alternatives, partnerships, and potential acquisitions
- Take on ad hoc analysis for the CFO and executive team
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
- 2 to 4 years of experience in investment banking, private equity, or as a finance analyst or associate at a PE or VC backed company
- Bachelor's degree in finance, accounting, economics, or a related field
- Strong financial modeling skills: three-statement models, DCF, returns analysis, and scenario-driven forecasts built on clean input drivers
- Advanced Excel and PowerPoint; comfortable with Google Sheets
- Working knowledge of GAAP financial statements
- Ability to turn analysis into clear, concise materials for executives, boards, and investors
- Ownership mentality and comfort with ambiguity in a growth-stage company
NICE TO HAVE
- Experience in agriculture, energy, renewable fuels, carbon markets, or environmental commodities
- Familiarity with tax credit structures, project finance, or structured transactions
- Exposure to a capital raise or M&A process from the company side
WHY ARVA
- Direct mentorship from the CFO and visibility with the board and investors
- Broad scope across capital markets, strategy, and operations
- A chance to help build a company at the intersection of agriculture, energy, and climate
