Job description

Business Finance Partner - Remote Freelance AI Evaluation

Hiring Partner: Crossing Hurdles

About the Role

Crossing Hurdles is sourcing experienced corporate finance professionals on behalf of our client, a US-based AI frontier lab, for a remote freelance engagement focused on AI model evaluation. This is not a traditional finance role. Our client is building and refining AI systems that need to perform accurately and reliably across complex financial scenarios - and they need real practitioners to evaluate that work. If you have deep experience in business finance partnering, FP&A, or strategic finance, this is a high-value way to contribute to cutting-edge AI development on your own schedule.

What You Will Do

• Review and assess AI-generated responses to business finance and FP&A scenarios
• Identify factual errors, reasoning gaps, and practical limitations in model outputs
• Apply real-world finance judgment to evaluate how well AI handles forecasting, budgeting, variance analysis, and capital allocation questions
• Provide structured feedback that helps improve model accuracy and domain relevance
• Contribute to prompt testing, edge case identification, and response quality benchmarking

Domain Focus

• Financial planning and analysis
• Business partnering and cross-functional finance support
• Budgeting, forecasting, and scenario modeling
• Capital allocation and investment prioritization
• Strategic finance and long-range planning
• KPI development and performance reporting

What We Are Looking For

• 5+ years of experience in FP&A, business finance, or strategic finance roles
• Target backgrounds include: FP&A Analyst, Senior FP&A Manager, Business Finance Partner, Capital Allocation Specialist, Strategic Finance Lead
• CFA or MBA (Finance) preferred but not required
• Strong GAAP knowledge and financial modeling fluency
• Ability to articulate why a financial answer or approach is correct or flawed
• Comfort working independently with minimal direction

Work Style and Expectations

This is a fully remote, asynchronous-first engagement. You set your own hours and work when it suits you. The company values consistency and quality over rigid schedules. Evaluators who perform well are considered for expanded retainer arrangements. You will onboard within 24 hours of acceptance and can begin earning immediately.

Compensation

Rate : $100-125/hr (USD)

Payment : Via Deel, fortnightly

Commitment : 15-20+ hours/week (minimum 10+ hours/week)

You May Be a Good Fit If

You have spent years doing real finance work - building models, challenging business cases, advising leadership - and you want a flexible, well-compensated way to apply that expertise outside of a traditional role. No interviews. No lengthy application forms. Just a resume review and an onboarding call to get started. To apply, send your resume to Crossing Hurdles for review.
