Position Summary 

Peak Energy is accelerating the transition to clean, reliable energy through advanced energy storage systems. We are seeking a Financial Analyst to join our Finance team as one of its earliest hires and help build the financial infrastructure that will carry Peak from early revenue through gigawatt-scale production. This role spans FP&A, strategic finance, and finance technology — you’ll assist with budget-to-actual reporting, support executive decision-making with models and analysis, and contribute to the AI and automation roadmap for Peak’s finance function. 

The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, motivated, and eager to learn. Experience matters less than attitude - we’re looking for someone who genuinely wants to understand how a business works, isn’t afraid to dig into the details, and brings consistent effort and follow-through every day. As one of the first finance hires, you’ll learn how a startup builds its financial operating cadence from the ground up, with the opportunity to grow into ownership of key processes over time. The key to success in this role is willingness to work hard, demonstrate curiosity, and an appetite for growth. This role has significant growth opportunities. 

Key Responsibilities 

FP&A & Budget Management 

• Assist in building and maintaining Peak’s budget-to-actual tracking, reporting cadences, and variance analysis — learning to partner with department heads across Engineering, Supply Chain, Commercial, and Operations to translate operational plans into financial models. 

• Help prepare monthly financial packages and support the month-end close process, learning to write clear, actionable commentary that explains the “so what” behind the numbers. 

Strategic Finance 

• Support fundraising, investor reporting, and board materials; assist in building financial models for new projects, customer deals, and manufacturing scale-up scenarios. 

• Learn to analyze and improve unit economics, should-cost models, and cash flow projections that support executive decision-making on pricing, procurement, and capital allocation. 

Finance Technology & AI Roadmap 

• Contribute to defining the AI and automation roadmap for Peak’s finance function — suggesting where intelligent tooling can replace manual work in reporting, reconciliation, forecasting, and spend tracking. 

• Support the evaluation and implementation of finance software (ERP, FP&A platforms, expense management) and help build internal tools and workflows as the company scales from startup-stage systems to enterprise-grade infrastructure. 

Cross-Functional Partnership 

• Support operational teams as a finance resource — helping track project-level spend, assisting with purchase order workflows, and learning compliance requirements including 48E ITC tax credit tracking and investor deliverables. 

• Contribute to ad hoc strategic projects across the business; this is a startup, and the best ideas often come from the newest voices. 

Qualifications 

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business, Engineering, or a related quantitative field. 

• 0–2 years of experience in finance, FP&A, accounting, consulting, or a related analytical role. Recent graduates with strong internship experience are encouraged to apply. 

• Comfortable in Excel/PowerPoint with a willingness to go deep — building models, writing formulas, and learning data tools over time. 

• Strong communicator who can distill financial information into clear takeaways for non-finance stakeholders. 

• Teachable and coachable — someone who takes feedback well, asks good questions, and is energized by learning new things in a fast-moving environment. 

• Intellectually curious about how AI and technology can transform finance — the kind of person already experimenting with tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, or Claude. 

• Bonus: SQL, BI tools (Tableau/Power BI/Looker), ERP systems, or exposure to hardware/energy/manufacturing environments. 

Our Core Values  

Speed Through Focus - Move fast but understand why. Focus on the goal, don't sacrifice quality.  
Mission Over Self - It's about the greater good; confident humility. Take ownership and accountability.  
Face the Brutal Truth - Transparency, honesty, big picture curiosity. Fearless decision making.  
Be a Good Person - Kindness, collaboration and teamwork  

Compensation & Benefits  

The salary range for this role is $70,000 - $90,000, with actual pay varying based on work location, experience, and skills. Our competitive benefits package includes flexible time off, comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, a strong 401(k) plan, and equity opportunities.
