Asynchronous Jobs with little / no FaceTime
Curious about what types of roles would allow for asynchronous work and little to no FaceTime. Meaning I could go skiing during the day and crank out work later at night on my own pace, etc.
Would love to hear any antidotes / thoughts here. Assuming something like FP&A that has recurring tasks and high visibility for deadlines
Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some roles that might allow for asynchronous work with little to no FaceTime:
Tech Business Roles:
Corporate Finance:
Remote Jobs:
Human Resources (HR):

These roles and threads should give you a good starting point for exploring asynchronous work opportunities.

Remote Corporate FP&A
Remote Valuation (either mid-term services firm or in-house at a fund)
Mind providing a bit of color on the roles
FP&A is generally well covered I think. Budgeting, LRPs, quarter-end close and some accounting-like tasks. Pay growth isn’t spectacularly relatively speaking and remote opportunities are drying up but if you can find one that is almost certainly a shoe-in for async work
Valuation requires a more niche / technical background. Usually having worked on PPAs, Goodwill Impairment and other financial reporting related valuation work, also credit / portfolio valuation (illiquid loans and things like that). A friend of mine was working at a FTI, Kroll, A&M type services firm pulling in 200k+ on 35hr/wk fully remote in his late 20s. He’s now moved over to working for a boutique advisor working less and making more.
Fund valuation at Thoma Bravo or Blackstone type roles are awesome but niche and hard to win given the background required
Was he a CPA/CFA/ can you share about his credentials of what it took to get this role? Sweet sweet gig he was running
Yeah he just worked for 5 years in financial reporting valuation for a big services firm doing PPAs, impairments, option valuation and stock compensation valuation. Then he did 2 years at an investment bank doing credit, equity and general business valuation
