Overview
Mercor needs finance and accounting professionals to test AI assistants on tasks pulled from real practice. You will write short requests that mirror a normal user's message, then work with the assistant across several turns, answering its questions and correcting wrong answers. Each session ends with a score for the interaction and the deliverable plus brief notes on what worked and what failed. The project runs remote at about 10 hours per week with a flexible schedule, and it pays $42/hour.
What You'll Do6
- Write short finance or accounting requests in the style of a real user.
- Guide the AI assistant through several turns by answering questions and steering the work.
- Push back with domain reasoning when the assistant makes a mistake.
- Rate the interaction and final deliverable against a professional standard.
- Add short notes on strengths, errors, and missing details.
- Use your own spreadsheet work and finance workflows to shape realistic test tasks.
Requirements6
- 3+ years of professional experience in corporate finance, accounting, FP&A, audit, or tax.
- Hands-on spreadsheet work in a finance or accounting job each day.
- Current or recent role as an accountant, FP&A analyst, controller, auditor, tax professional, or finance manager.
- Occasional use of AI assistants in your own workflow.
- Clear written English for prompts and review notes.
- Eligibility to access the assistant from your country.
Who Should Apply
Accountants, FP&A analysts, controllers, auditors, tax professionals, and finance managers with 3+ years in the field will fit this project. You need regular spreadsheet work, some prior use of AI assistants, and clear English for short prompts and review notes.
Salary Insight
Mercor pays $42/hour for about 10 hours per week, and the schedule stays flexible. That rate lines up with professionals who bring at least three years of finance or accounting experience, not with entry-level spreadsheet work.
Application tip
Name your finance domain (FP&A, audit, tax, or accounting), your years of experience, and the spreadsheet tools you use at work. Add a short sample task you would give an AI assistant and the standard you would use to judge its answer.
