You should enjoy writing clear, structured assessments and following detailed evaluation guidelines.

AfterQuery
VerifiedFinance Expert - Remote AI Response Review
AfterQuery partners with major AI labs to sharpen how their systems reason through real finance problems, and this role sits at the center of that work. You join a bench of practitioners who bring day-to-day judgment from financial planning, tax, lending, insurance or corporate finance. Your job is to create the kinds of scenarios you already handle for clients, then judge whether an AI model handles them with sound logic and accurate figures. Projects run remote and ongoing, with volume you control and support standards shared through the project chat after onboarding.

AfterQuery seeks finance specialists to shape how AI systems reason through financial questions. You write demanding prompts across financial modeling, valuation, accounting, corporate finance and markets. Then you judge model answers for accuracy, logic and hidden mistakes such as miscalculated ratios or wrong cash flow assumptions. The contract operates on a remote schedule at 40 hours per week, and you complete an assessment before anyone reviews your application.

Your job is to test and sharpen how AI models reason about valuation, financial modeling, capital markets, and real investment scenarios.

No prior AI experience is required; your domain depth is what matters most.
Mercor
VerifiedFinance Domain Expert — AI Training & Evaluation
A leading AI lab's GenAI team needs a senior finance practitioner to judge and improve how frontier models handle real financial work. The role involves reviewing finance tasks and model outputs, writing instruction specs and golden solutions, and building benchmarks that measure model progress. This is a full-time W-2 position through Cincinnatus LLC, placed inside the client's own tools and workflows. The work is hybrid in the Bay Area, with on-site collaboration required several days each week.
Mercor
VerifiedFinance Expert - Remote AI Evaluation Part-Time
Mercor keeps a standing pool of finance professionals who help grade and guide frontier AI models on financial reasoning. The work leans on judgment: you write problems from your own practice, attach the filings, assumptions, and constraints, then supply the reference answer a model gets measured against. You also review model output for accounting treatment, test valuation assumptions against sensitivity checks, and flag work that looks clean but would fail disclosure or audit review. Specialties include accounting, auditing, corporate finance, investment banking, asset management, wealth management, insurance, and actuarial science. Rates sit between $60 and $180 an hour, set per project by scope and depth.
