Overview

Mercor’s FP&A experts create and assess realistic finance tasks for AI agents, using simulated companies and the budgets, forecasts, models, emails, and business apps that finance teams rely on. You’ll shape CFO- or business-partner-style requests, verify model outputs against source data, and build rubrics that reflect senior FP&A judgment. The work is remote, with US candidates preferred and applicants worldwide welcome. After onboarding and a paid skills assessment, you can claim a task; strong performers may advance to reviewer or world lead roles.

What You'll Do7

  • Edit AI-drafted prompts so they sound like real requests from a CFO or business partner without revealing the answer.
  • Validate reference models and outputs against source files and app records, then fix errors.
  • Create and refine grading rubrics with exact pass/fail values and judgment criteria that generalists might overlook.
  • Review how leading AI models approach each task and confirm that any failure reflects a fair, defensible reason.
  • Build and assess tasks covering annual budgets, long-range plans, rolling forecasts, revenue, cash flow, and headcount.
  • Work with variance analysis, KPI reporting, board and investor reporting, three-statement models, and scenario models.
  • Cover business-partner decisions involving pricing and costs.

Requirements5

  • At least 3 years of hands-on FP&A experience as an Analyst, Senior Analyst, Manager, or in a more senior role; experience matters more than title.
  • Bachelor’s degree in finance, accounting, economics, or a related field.
  • Experience owning budgeting or forecasting cycles.
  • Strong driver-based and scenario modeling skills.
  • Fluency with a financial planning tool such as Anaplan, Adaptive, or Planful.

Preferred Qualifications2

  • CFA, MBA, or CPA
  • Prior experience on a Mercor RL project

Who Should Apply

FP&A professionals with at least three years of hands-on experience, budgeting or forecasting ownership, and strong modeling skills should consider this work. Familiarity with Anaplan, Adaptive, or Planful is essential; applicants worldwide may apply, with US candidates preferred.
