Overview

Mercor staffs finance specialists into a leading AI lab's GenAI group, where the work centers on Large Language Models that must reason through financial problems. Your background in investment banking, private equity, equity research, corporate finance, or accounting becomes the raw material for that training data. Expect to write and grade financial models, valuation work, and accounting solutions instead of running live deals. Cincinnatus LLC employs you on a W-2 basis and assigns you to the lab's extended workforce.

What You'll Do6

Coach research and engineering groups on finance gaps, covering valuation, financial modeling, accounting, and financial reporting topics.
Author demanding, domain-specific prompts and pair each one with an accurate, well-structured worked solution.
Score finance tasks and submitted answers, then explain your judgment in written technical feedback.
Construct and audit financial models, valuations, and analyses, and write reference solutions for hard problems.
Create grading rubrics that test numerical accuracy, methodology, and professional judgment in AI-generated financial output.
Partner with other subject-matter experts to keep training data consistent and correct.

Requirements5

4+ years of dedicated finance experience at a top-tier firm such as Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, J.P. Morgan, Blackstone, KKR, a Big Four accounting firm, or corporate finance at a Fortune 500 company.
Advanced Excel modeling and valuation skill across DCF, LBO, and comparable company analysis.
A track record of advancement through the ranks, for example Analyst to Associate to VP.
Availability for at least 20 hours per week during weekdays.
Strong writing ability, including the capacity to explain complex technical decisions in plain terms.

Preferred Qualifications3

CFA charter
CPA license
MBA from a top program

Who Should Apply

Finance professionals from top-tier banks, PE shops, research desks, Big Four firms, or Fortune 500 finance teams who have built DCF, LBO, and comps models in Excel and want to apply that depth to AI training work on a part-time schedule.

Salary Insight

The role pays $80 to $120 per hour on a W-2 basis through Cincinnatus LLC. That band sits well above typical part-time expert rates and matches the premium expected for candidates with 4+ years at a top-tier firm plus advanced modeling depth.
