ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY
Total Infotech & Telecoms Limited (TITL) is seeking a young, ambitious, commercially minded Chartered Accountant to work directly with the Founder/CEO in a fractional capacity, supporting financial modelling, investment readiness, investor research and fundraising activities across designated ventures within its portfolio.
This is not a conventional accounting position. The primary objective is to identify suitable investors and funding opportunities, prepare credible investment materials, initiate investor relationships, coordinate funding applications and contribute meaningfully to securing external investment.
The ideal candidate must combine sound financial knowledge with strong research, communication, presentation and execution skills. Proficiency in AI tools, particularly ChatGPT and Claude, is mandatory. The successful candidate must know how to use these tools to accelerate the preparation of financial models, pitch decks, PowerPoint presentations, investment proposals, research reports and other professional documents while independently verifying the accuracy of all outputs.
The Founder/CEO will provide direct guidance, mentorship and practical exposure to venture building, investment readiness and fundraising strategy. Candidates with limited fundraising experience but strong analytical ability, initiative and a willingness to learn are encouraged to apply.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
1. Investor Identification and Research
- Identify and research relevant angel investors, venture capital firms, private equity investors, family offices, accelerators, development finance institutions, strategic investors and corporate funding partners.
- Match potential investors to specific ventures based on industry, geography, investment stage, funding mandate, cheque size and investment thesis.
- Identify relevant grants, innovation funds, accelerators, startup competitions and other non-dilutive funding opportunities.
- Maintain a structured investor database containing contact information, investment criteria, application requirements, outreach history, responses and follow-up actions.
- Develop targeted investor lists and recommend the most promising funding opportunities for each assigned venture.
2. Investor Introductions and First-Level Representations
- Initiate professional contact with prospective investors through appropriate email, LinkedIn, professional networks, introductions and other permitted channels.
- Confidently introduce TITL, its venture-building model and designated investment opportunities to prospective investors.
- Make first-level representations, explain the business proposition, communicate funding requirements and answer preliminary questions within the scope of approved information.
- Arrange investor meetings, coordinate follow-ups and maintain momentum throughout the engagement process.
- Prepare for investor conversations, presentations and preliminary due-diligence discussions.
- Identify investor objections, concerns and information requests, documenting them for review with the Founder/CEO.
- Escalate investment negotiations, binding commitments, material representations and other reserved decisions to the Founder/CEO.
The candidate must be articulate, commercially confident and comfortable communicating with senior executives, investors and other business stakeholders. All representations must be accurate, professionally presented and consistent with approved company information.
3. Financial Modelling and Investment Analysis
- Prepare and maintain financial models, including revenue projections, operating expenses, cash flow forecasts, unit economics, break-even analysis, capital requirements and funding runway.
- Develop financial scenarios, sensitivity analyses, valuation assessments and investor-return illustrations using defensible assumptions.
- Evaluate business models, pricing structures, cost assumptions, commercial viability and funding requirements.
- Ensure that projections distinguish clearly between actual performance, management assumptions, estimates and future targets.
- Prepare financial summaries, supporting schedules and documentation required for investor due diligence.
- Review financial models for mathematical accuracy, internal consistency and commercial credibility.
4. Pitch Decks and Investment Documentation
- Prepare and refine professional investor pitch decks, PowerPoint presentations, investment memoranda, financial summaries, funding proposals and related documentation.
- Translate business strategies into clear investment narratives supported by credible financial information.
- Ensure consistency across pitch decks, financial models, funding requests, use-of-funds schedules and projected returns.
- Prepare tailored presentations and supporting documents for different investors, funding programmes and investment opportunities.
- Identify gaps, unsupported claims and weaknesses that could undermine investor confidence.
- Assist in organising investment data rooms and responding to financial information requests.
5. Mandatory AI and Productivity Tools Proficiency
- Demonstrate practical, advanced working proficiency in ChatGPT, Claude and other relevant AI productivity tools for professional research, document preparation, financial analysis and presentation development.
- Use AI tools to accelerate the preparation and refinement of pitch decks, PowerPoint presentations, financial narratives, investor research, funding applications, reports and other business documents.
- Apply effective prompting, iterative refinement, document analysis and cross-checking techniques to produce high-quality professional outputs.
- Use appropriate spreadsheet, presentation, research and financial modelling tools alongside AI systems.
- Independently verify calculations, facts, market data, financial assumptions, citations and generated content before submission.
- Never rely on AI-generated figures, investor details or factual claims without appropriate verification.
- Protect confidential company and venture information when using AI tools, following approved data-handling and security practices.
AI proficiency is a mandatory requirement, not an optional advantage. Candidates must be able to demonstrate practical competence rather than merely familiarity with AI tools.
6. Weekly Fundraising Reviews and Reporting
- Attend a mandatory physical meeting with the Founder/CEO in Lagos at least once every week to review fundraising activities, investor engagement, applications, challenges and next steps.
- Prepare and submit a written fundraising report every week, ahead of the scheduled review meeting.
- Maintain an up-to-date investor pipeline and funding-opportunity tracker.
- Report on investors identified, prospects qualified, outreach completed, responses received, meetings scheduled, applications submitted, follow-ups outstanding and progress towards funding.
- Highlight significant investor feedback, risks, bottlenecks, missed opportunities and recommended corrective actions.
- Provide a prioritised action plan for the following week, with clear deliverables and deadlines.
- Maintain accurate records of investor interactions, correspondence, commitments and outstanding information requests.
The successful candidate must be organised, dependable and disciplined in meeting weekly reporting and review obligations.
7. Founder Collaboration and Professional Development
- Work directly with the Founder/CEO to understand assigned ventures, their commercial models, funding requirements and investment objectives.
- Participate actively in fundraising strategy sessions and implement agreed actions.
- Accept constructive feedback, learn quickly and progressively improve the quality of financial analysis, investor engagement and investment documentation.
- Maintain strict confidentiality, professional integrity and appropriate separation of information between individual ventures.

- High integrity, sound judgement, initiative and willingness to learn.
- Ability to work independently, meet deadlines and communicate progress consistently.
- Availability for mandatory weekly physical fundraising review meetings with the Founder/CEO in Lagos.
EXPERIENCE
Experience in financial modelling, corporate finance, transaction advisory, investment research, audit, business advisory, startup finance or investor relations is an advantage.
Previous fundraising experience is desirable but not compulsory. Candidates with limited experience may be considered if they demonstrate strong financial competence, excellent communication, practical AI proficiency and the ability to execute assignments reliably.
