Job Description

Our client is seeking experienced Finance & Accounting Experts to contribute to specialized artificial intelligence evaluation projects.

• Transform complex financial processes into clearly structured assignments with detailed instructions, supporting documentation, and measurable outcomes.
• Develop objective grading criteria and evaluation standards that allow independent reviewers to assess results consistently.

• Develop tasks involving financial reconciliations, variance analysis, reporting accuracy, and identification of accounting discrepancies.
• Review assignments to identify ambiguity, inconsistencies, or evaluation criteria that cannot be measured objectively.
• Deliver completed assignments according to established project deadlines and quality standards.

This opportunity allows experienced finance and accounting professionals to apply their expertise to innovative AI initiatives without requiring previous experience in artificial intelligence.

• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel, including financial analysis, data validation, reconciliations, and working with complex spreadsheets.
• Ability to analyze information across multiple documents, identify discrepancies, investigate errors, and apply sound financial judgment.
• Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and ability to translate complex financial processes into clearly defined tasks with objective evaluation criteria.
• Strong written and verbal English communication skills (advanced B2 or C1 level).
• Ability to work independently, manage project deadlines, and deliver accurate, high-quality assignments in a remote environment.
