Finance Expert: AI Financial Reasoning Review

About the Role

What if you could use your finance expertise to teach AI systems to reason about numbers the way a seasoned analyst does?

We're looking for experienced finance professionals in the Washington, DC area to review AI-generated financial analysis, judge whether it holds up, and correct it where it doesn't. You'll assess answers on tasks like financial statements, valuation, and modeling, flag flawed assumptions or calculations, and explain your judgment clearly in writing.

Your expertise will help determine whether AI models can reach the conclusions an experienced finance professional would reach, and where they fall short.

This is a remote, hourly contract opportunity for US-based professionals who want to apply their finance knowledge to an emerging area of AI development.

Position Details

Organization: Alignerr
Type: Hourly Contract
Location: Remote (US-based, must be legally eligible to work in the US)
Commitment: Typically 25–35 hours per week, based on project demand
Engagement: Work is dynamic. Volume follows project demand and may pause or end at any time without notice.

What You'll Do

Evaluate AI-Generated Financial Analysis

Review AI responses to finance questions and tasks, including financial statement analysis, valuation, and modeling. Assess whether the methodology is sound, the numbers are right, and the conclusions follow from the analysis.

Identify and Correct Errors

Spot calculation mistakes, flawed assumptions, misapplied methods, and unsupported conclusions. Write corrected answers that reflect how an experienced finance professional would approach the problem.

Provide Clear Written Explanations

Explain what is wrong, why it matters, and how to fix it — with the clarity and precision you would bring to an investment memo or client deliverable.
