Finance Expert

Full job description

The research teams behind the best-known AI models come to Mercor for financial judgment they can't generate on their own. Your standards and expertise become the rubric that frontier AI is graded against.

This is a standing listing for finance professionals who want AI training and evaluation work, not a specific job opening. It stays open whether or not a matching project is running this week.

New projects start on short notice, so instead of posting and pulling a listing each time, we keep one open per field and draw from it when one begins.

What the work looks like

We match finance professionals in the network to projects like:

• Writing a financial problem from work you have done, with the filings, the assumptions, and the constraints, plus the reference answer a model's attempt gets graded against
• Grading model-built financial work: whether the model ties, whether the accounting treatment is right, whether the valuation assumptions survive a sensitivity check
• Flagging where a model's output looks clean on the page and would not pass review, given disclosure requirements, audit standards, or what the numbers actually support

Rates vary by specialty within this field. Listings across it have posted from $60 to $180 an hour, set per project by scope and depth.

What we're looking for

• Professional experience in a finance or accounting discipline
• Clear written communication, since most of the work involves explaining your reasoning
• Comfort with ambiguous tasks, and willingness to flag unclear instructions

What this covers

This pool spans the finance field, including:

• Accounting and auditing
• Corporate finance; investment banking
• Asset management; wealth management
• Insurance and actuarial science

How it works

Apply here with your resume and confirm where you work from, then take a short AI interview, about 20 minutes total.

We verify your background and add you to the finance pool.

When a project needs your specialty, we invite matching people from the pool to that specific listing. It names the rate, the hours, and the client, and any hiring decision is made there.

What to expect

This listing does not accept or reject candidates, so you will not get a decision on it. We reach out when a project matches your background. Depending on what our clients are running, that can be within a week or several months.

Finishing the domain expert interview and joining every network you qualify for both improve your odds of being matched. You only need to sign up once to be eligible across all of them.
