Typical responsibilities
Pulled from the live listings in this category:
- Review and compare AI-generated FP&A / treasury outputs for accuracy and sound judgment on assumptions
- Provide clear written feedback that improves how AI performs planning and cash-management tasks
- Collaborate asynchronously with the research team
- Instruction specs and golden datasets: Write high-quality instruction specs, produce golden solutions to financial problems, and define new finance tasks that reflect how the work is actually done in practice.
- Benchmarks and domain depth: Design challenging finance tasks and evaluation sets, and help build finance-specific skills and tools together with the research team.
- Calibration: Work with client researchers and specialists in adjacent fields to keep standards consistent, translating tacit financial judgment into explicit, teachable criteria.
What employers ask for
- Finance / MBA background with strong financial-modeling skills and hands-on cash / treasury exposure
- CTP (Certified Treasury Professional) a plus for treasury-leaning candidates
- Corporate FP&A or treasury experience at a mid-size or larger company
- Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, or a related field
- Strong written communication and attention to detail
- AI fluency: Hands-on working use of large language models in your professional work, and the judgment to tell a well-reasoned answer from a plausible-sounding wrong one.
How the pay is spread
Half of the listings with a published rate fall between $100 and $125 an hour. The bottom of the range is $45 and the top is $200. Rate depends far more on credentials and specialism than on which platform you use.
Which platform to start with
Mercor currently lists the most roles in this category (4 of 7). Platforms differ mainly in eligibility and how they screen, not in the kind of work. See which platforms hire in your country before you spend time on applications.
How to apply
Applications are completed on the hiring platform, not on this site. Most of these platforms screen with a short qualification step before routing you to paid work, so a complete profile matters more than a long cover letter. Applying is free and none of these platforms charge a fee to start.
