Financial Analyst

Remote

LISC is one of the country’s largest community development organizations, helping forge vibrant, resilient communities across America. LISC works with residents and partners to close gaps in health, wealth, and opportunity so that people and places can thrive. We do this by acting as a conduit for grants, loans and equity--and by providing technical assistance and capacity building--to locally rooted organizations that carry out the work in communities.

 

LISC Fund Management is seeking a Financial Analyst to serve as a critical technical resource supporting our real estate fund portfolio, where your attention to detail and modeling expertise will directly enable investments in affordable housing and community development. If you are an analytically-minded finance professional who loves working with complex financial models and takes pride in producing accurate, insightful analysis, then this role is well suited for you.

 

This role is ideal for someone who finds satisfaction in the technical work of finance—building and maintaining sophisticated models, ensuring data integrity, and transforming raw numbers into meaningful insights. If you're energized by diving deep into Excel, spotting discrepancies in datasets, and creating clear analytical outputs that drive decision-making, this position offers the perfect blend of technical challenge and purpose-driven impact.

In this hands-on analytical role, you'll:

  • Own the data inputs and maintenance of complex real estate fund models that support investment decisions across our portfolio
  • Serve as the quality control expert, ensuring accuracy and completeness of financial data flowing through our systems
  • Produce regular analytical reports and outputs that inform fund management and investor communications
  • Run sensitivity analyses and scenarios that help our team understand fund performance under different conditions
  • Work collaboratively with underwriting and asset management teams, providing the analytical foundation for their work

 

What makes this role unique is the combination of technical rigor and mission impact. Unlike traditional fund analyst roles where you might feel disconnected from the end purpose, here you'll see exactly how your analytical work supports investments in affordable housing, community facilities, and neighborhood revitalization. The models you maintain and the reports you produce directly enable capital to flow to underserved communities.

 

You'll report to the Senior Associate, Underwriting & Portfolio Management, working as part of a collaborative team that values precision, continuous improvement, and problem-solving. This is a role where your technical skills will be challenged and developed, with opportunities to work on increasingly complex modeling projects as you grow.

 

If you're looking for a role where your analytical abilities are essential to the mission, where accuracy and attention to detail are celebrated, and where you can build deep expertise in real estate fund modeling while contributing to meaningful community impact, we want to hear from you.

Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
