What You’ll Do Valuation, Fair Value & Impairment Lead the execution of purchase price allocations under ASC 805 by managing third-party valuation specialists, compiling significant inputs from internal stakeholders (e.g., revenue forecasts, customer data, technology roadmaps), and critically reviewing delivered reports for accuracy, completeness, and methodological soundness.

Lead valuation exercises for CoreWeave’s portfolio of privately held strategic investments, including option-pricing models, scenario-based analyses, and market approach benchmarking under ASC 321 and ASC 323. Build, maintain, and enhance financial models (e.g., discounted cash flow, multi-period excess earnings, relief-from-royalty, with-and-without) used in connection with acquisition accounting, impairment testing, and investment valuations. Prepare and organize valuation work papers and supporting schedules that meet SOX documentation requirements and facilitate external audit review. Monitor the financial performance of strategic investments and lead quarterly impairment analyses, including identification of observable price changes and preparation of quantitative assessments under ASC 321. Analyze complex security structures, including preferred equity instruments and embedded derivatives, and assess the appropriateness of valuation methodologies applied. Accounting Operations & Reporting Support Reconcile goodwill, intangible asset, and investment balances to NetSuite on a quarterly basis, investigating and resolving variances between valuation deliverables, journal entries, and the general ledger. Coordinate with the Financial Reporting team to prepare and review related disclosures for 10-Q and 10-K filings, including goodwill and intangible asset roll‑forwards, fair-value measurement disclosures, and investment schedules. Prepare monthly internal presentations with clear, concise materials and slide decks summarizing transaction activity, investment performance, and impairment monitoring results. Execute and document review controls over valuation-related balances, providing clear evidence of management’s review and ensuring significant inputs agree to supporting documentation.

Develop and share best practices, templates, and use cases for leveraging AI tools to improve efficiency in accounting and finance workflows (e.g., data extraction, memo drafting, reconciliation, model review). Stay current on developments in AI tools relevant to accounting and finance, evaluate new capabilities, and recommend adoption where appropriate. Collaborate with IT and other stakeholders to address technical issues, provide feedback to tool providers, and help shape the organization’s AI adoption roadmap.
