About this role
The research teams behind the best-known AI models come to Mercor for financial judgment they can't generate on their own. Your standards and expertise become the rubric that frontier AI is graded against.
This is a standing listing for finance professionals who want AI training and evaluation work, not a specific job opening. It stays open whether or not a matching project is running this week.
New projects start on short notice, so instead of posting and pulling a listing each time, we keep one open per field and draw from it when one begins.
What the work looks like
We match finance professionals in the network to projects like:
- Writing a financial problem from work you have done, with the filings, the assumptions, and the constraints, plus the reference answer a model's attempt gets graded against
- Grading model-built financial work: whether the model ties, whether the accounting treatment is right, whether the valuation assumptions survive a sensitivity check
- Flagging where a model's output looks clean on the page and would not pass review, given disclosure requirements, audit standards, or what the numbers actually support
Rates vary by specialty within this field. Listings across it have posted from $60 to $180 an hour, set per project by scope and depth.
What we're looking for
- Professional experience in a finance or accounting discipline
- Clear written communication, since most of the work involves explaining your reasoning
- Comfort with ambiguous tasks, and willingness to flag unclear instructions
