Non-Investment Finance Expert — AI Training & Evaluation
We're building frontier AI for complex, real-world finance work, and we need senior finance practitioners to produce and evaluate expert-grade work products that set the bar for what "correct, professional output" looks like. You'll work through realistic, document-heavy scenarios — messy source files, distractors, ambiguous guidance — and either produce the deliverable yourself or judge AI-generated attempts against a professional standard. This is hands-on finance craft, not survey-taking.
What you'll do
- Build and review deliverables such as: PnL and mark-to-market reconciliations (trader vs. accounting, month-end marks, commissions, adjustments); vendor / AP payment reconciliations under cash constraints with controls (PO, P-card, aging); integrated 3-statement and pro-forma models including purchase-accounting impacts (ASC 805 deferred-revenue haircut, PPA amortization, synergy phasing); covenant and credit analysis; and partnership / professional-services allocations (profit-pool waterfalls, capital accounts).
- Reason from primary sources — term sheets, purchase/partnership agreements, trial balances, memos, emails — and separate what's material from deliberate distractors.
- Write clear, CFO/partner-ready narratives that explain assumptions, variances, and recommendations.
Who we're looking for
- 5+ years in a hands-on non-investment finance role: product control / financial control, corporate FP&A, technical accounting, treasury / financial operations / AP–P2P, commercial-banking credit, or professional-services / partnership finance.
- CPA / CA / ACA / ACCA / CIMA (or equivalent) strongly preferred.
- Strong US GAAP / IFRS (bonus: ASC 805 & 606) and advanced Excel modeling (linked 3-statement models, reconciliations, pro formas).
- Comfort exercising professional judgment on incomplete or ambiguous information.
- Note: a CFA / investing / portfolio-management background is not required — this is operational and technical finance, not markets.

How Mercor pays and hires
Weekly. Mercor pays hourly contractors every Wednesday around noon Pacific for the prior work week, through Stripe (or Wise where Stripe isn't available). Stripe holds your first payout for 7 days, and standard Stripe transfers reach your bank within up to 5 business days; Wise transfers usually arrive within about an hour once you accept them.
You apply to a specific listing with your resume, then take a recorded AI interview (about 20 minutes). Completed interviews carry over to other listings that use the same one.
