Job summary

Patronus AI, Inc. is seeking finance professionals to join as independent contractors for remote, asynchronous work. You will create and solve finance tasks, write clear requests, and define scoring criteria that researchers can reproduce.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of hands-on experience in accounting, financial reporting, investment banking, private equity, equity research, corporate development or audit.
• Working command of the standards, controls and rules in your area (e.g., US GAAP or IFRS, PCAOB and AICPA standards, SOX).

• Clear, precise writing in professional English.
• Ability to work independently and asynchronously against deadlines.

Responsibilities

• Build realistic evidence files from a provided scenario, such as trial balances and reconciliations, financial models and investment memos, and audit workpapers and evidence.
• Write task requests that state the deliverable and say how uncertainty and justified assumptions should be handled.
• Solve each task end to end and document a reference solution with the reasoning behind every step.
• Write scoring criteria precise enough that two independent graders reach the same verdict, including acceptable alternative answers.
• Check your own and your peers' tasks for accuracy and ambiguity.
• Work in reviewer feedback within agreed turnaround times, and flag guideline gaps or edge cases you run into.
• Explain to our research team how work in your area is actually done: the steps, the documents, who does what, and where things go wrong.
• Review the scenarios and documents our team builds from that research, and flag anything a practitioner would find unrealistic.
