Finance Expert (US based)
Listing checked October 21, 2026 · pay as published by Turing
Overview
Turing seeks finance experts to evaluate and improve AI model performance in areas like capital markets, portfolio management, and investment banking. The work centers on analyzing LLM outputs, building rubrics for finance-specific assessments, and partnering with AI researchers to refine evaluation methods. No prior AI experience is required, and the engagement is fully remote with 10 to 30 flexible hours per week. Freelancers can expect a one-month project with possible extension.
What You'll Do4
- 1Evaluate LLM performance on finance tasks and identify where the models underperform.
- 2Develop rubrics to measure model capability in specific finance areas, including deal analysis and M&A.
- 3Collaborate with AI researchers and peer finance experts to refine training methods, evaluation strategies, and benchmarks.
- 4Review financial reasoning across domains like capital markets and portfolio management to surface weaknesses.
Requirements4
- 1At least two years of experience in one or more finance fields, such as capital markets, portfolio management, research, trading, quant, investment banking, private equity, venture capital, growth equity, FP&A, accounting, or financial consulting.
- 2Demonstrated command of financial concepts relevant to your specialty, including investment analysis, research, forecasting, revenue builds, corporate finance, asset management, or risk management.
- 3Strong written English communication for delivering clear, structured evaluations.
- 4Preferred qualifications: CFA (any level), CA/CPA, or an MBA in finance. None of these are required.
Who Should Apply
A candidate who thrives here is a finance professional with at least two years of hands-on experience in a specialized domain like investment banking or portfolio management, and who can translate that expertise into clear written assessments of AI outputs. The role suits people curious about how AI handles financial reasoning, not those expecting to execute deals or manage assets directly. The work is less suitable for anyone looking for a long-term full-time job, since the engagement is freelance and typically lasts about one month. Common reasons candidates get rejected include shallow domain knowledge that does not match the listed specializations, or written English that is not precise enough to build evaluation rubrics.
