Consulting Expert - Remote Finance Contract
Listing checked September 22, 2026 · pay as published by AfterQuery
Overview
AfterQuery needs a Consulting Expert to help train AI models on real finance and strategy work. You will build or source authentic consulting artifacts such as research briefs, market overviews, strategy decks, client memos, and analytical spreadsheets. Then you write prompts that describe the analytical task behind each deliverable, and you review model outputs for accuracy and alignment with consulting methods. The engagement runs remote on a contract basis, about 10 hours each week, with pay between $100 and $150 per hour. The company is an early-stage Y Combinator-backed startup, so your work shapes how models handle client engagements and recommendation development.
What You'll Do6
- 1Assemble or locate genuine consulting deliverables, including research briefs, market summaries, strategy slide decks, client memos, and analytical workbooks.
- 2Write detailed prompts that spell out the analytical task required to generate each deliverable.
- 3Review model responses against consulting best practices and accepted methods.
- 4Provide detailed feedback when a model answer misses accuracy, logic, or client-ready presentation.
- 5Validate each deliverable and prompt pair for consistency with the finance and strategy domain.
- 6Flag gaps in model reasoning that would keep a response from supporting a real client engagement.
Requirements6
- 1Native English speaker.
- 2At least six months of consulting experience, with a solid grasp of consulting methods and client engagement.
- 3Advanced Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint skills for analysis and presentation development.
- 4Experience in management consulting, strategy consulting, or business advisory across varied industries and functional areas.
- 5Prior work on consulting publications, thought leadership, or consulting technology projects.
- 6MBA or advanced degree (preferred).
Who Should Apply
The ideal candidate brings at least six months of consulting work, speaks English as a native speaker, and can build a client-ready deck in PowerPoint and a clean model in Excel. Experience in management consulting, strategy consulting, or business advisory across several industries will help you craft prompts that mirror real client engagements. An MBA or prior work on consulting publications or technology projects will make your application stand out. The role fits less well for someone who has never written a consulting deliverable or who cannot explain the analytical steps behind a recommendation. Candidates often score low on fit when their application shows no concrete samples of strategy decks, research briefs, or analytical spreadsheets, or when their English fluency does not match native-level writing for client memos.
Salary Insight
Pay runs from $100.00 to $150.00 per hour on a contract basis. That rate sits above many entry-level consulting contracts and matches the upper range for freelance finance and strategy work that calls for native English writing, Excel modeling, and PowerPoint deck creation. The weekly commitment is 10 hours, so the role works as a side engagement or a small ongoing project rather than a full-time load.
