Senior Associate - Valuation

About Intrinsic

At Intrinsic, we believe that success is built on strong relationships and exceptional service. Headquartered in Denver, Colorado, we are a majority employee-owned company that partners with private equity firms, their portfolio companies, and the office of the CFO to provide transaction advisory services, valuation advice, and accounting and finance support. Since our founding in 2010, we’ve focused on what matters most: our people and clients. We take pride in our collaborative approach, tailoring each engagement to the unique situation at hand. We deliver more than just quality—we provide an unparalleled client experience with every interaction. This commitment is reflected in the strength of our team and culture, fueling an environment where every professional is empowered to contribute and grow.

About the Role

We’re hiring a Senior Associate to play a central role in executing high-quality valuation engagements for financial reporting, transaction, and dispute contexts. You’ll build and document models, draft report sections, support auditor reviews, and help keep projects moving on time and on budget—while receiving coaching and growing toward full engagement ownership.

What You'll Do

• Execute core workstreams: Build Income/DCF, Market, and Cost approach models; create supporting schedules (WACC/discount rates, guideline public and transaction comps, contributory asset charges, relief-from-royalty).
• Support complex capital structures: Prepare or assist with OPM/PWERM and Monte Carlo/lattice models for equity comp and complex securities; calibrate conclusions to observed transactions when applicable.
• Deliver clear, defensible work: Maintain clean workpapers and version control; draft well-supported report sections; perform meticulous self-review; assemble audit-ready documentation for ASC 820, 805, 350, 718, and 409A assignments.
• Surface insights & risks: Translate analysis into decision-useful takeaways; flag data gaps, assumptions, and review comments early and propose fixes.
• Stakeholder support: Help prepare responses to auditor/reviewer inquiries; participate in select client and auditor calls with VP/Director guidance.
• Project discipline: Track tasks, timelines, and budget status; use firm templates and tools to drive consistency and efficiency.
• Team & process: Coach Associates/Interns on modeling and workpaper hygiene; contribute to template/process improvements and internal trainings.

Ideally, You Have

• At least 1 year in valuation, audit advisory, or closely related finance roles at a valuation consultancy, Big 4/national firm, or specialized boutique.
• Hands-on experience with financial reporting valuations—exposure to ASC 805 (PPA), ASC 350 (impairment), ASC 718/IRC 409A (equity comp), and ASC 820 (fair value)—and comfort defending assumptions with evidence.
• Proven ability to manage your own workstreams across multiple concurrent projects, meet deadlines, and collaborate in review cycles.
• Bachelor’s in Finance, Accounting, Economics (Master’s a plus). Progress toward CFA, ASA, ABV, or CPA strongly preferred.
• Advanced Excel (checks, sensitivity analysis, scenario modeling) and strong writing; familiarity with Capital IQ/PitchBook (or similar) is a plus.

Ideally, You Are

• Analytical and curious—you ask great questions and connect dots quickly.
• Organized and proactive—you anticipate needs and keep workstreams moving.
• Team-oriented—you take ownership of your work and elevate those around you.
• Client-minded—you translate analysis into practical, plain-English insights.
