Hello — I'm
Jess Tran
Early-career finance professional — pairing analytical rigor with a storyteller’s warmth.
About
Finance found me through a spreadsheet — I stayed for the stories the numbers tell.
I'm building my career in finance with a background in corporate finance and valuation, internships that taught me a model is only as good as the questions behind it, and a habit of asking one more question than expected. What keeps me here is the craft: a clean model, a clear memo, a decision made with confidence.
Away from the desk you'll find me with a flat white and someone else's annual report, planning a trip I'll actually take, or writing here on the blog — thinking out loud about markets, careers, and everything I'm still figuring out.
