Senior Finance Expert — AI Training & Evaluation

Mercor; Greater London; On-site; GBP 55,000 - 85,000; Full time

Job summary

Mercor is seeking a Non-Investment Finance Expert to build and evaluate high‑quality finance deliverables for AI training and evaluation. You will handle PnL reconciliations, vendor/AP reconciliations under cash constraints, and integrated 3-statement/pro-forma models with purchase-accounting impacts.

You will rely on primary sources to distinguish material items from distractors, and write CFO-ready narratives explaining assumptions, variances, and recommendations.

Qualifications

• 3+ 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.

Responsibilities

• 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.
