Finance & Accounting Expert

Accountabilities: Design realistic, multi-step finance and accounting tasks based on practical workflows, including FP&A analysis, financial reporting, audit procedures, and account reconciliations. Develop clear task instructions and objective grading rubrics that allow qualified reviewers to evaluate submissions consistently. Create challenging scenarios that require professional judgment, careful interpretation of source materials, and sound financial reasoning. Prepare or source relevant supporting materials, including spreadsheets, general ledger extracts, financial statements, and policy documents. Review tasks for clarity, accuracy, and gradability, identifying and flagging ambiguous scenarios or tasks that cannot be assessed reliably. Deliver approved tasks on schedule while maintaining the required standards of quality and consistency. Requirements: At least 5 years of hands-on professional experience in FP&A, financial reporting, auditing, reconciliations, accounting, or a closely related field, with direct responsibility for the work rather than supervisory or adjacent exposure alone.

Strong Excel skills and the ability to analyze information across multiple financial documents and data sources. Excellent analytical thinking, attention to detail, and the ability to translate professional judgment into clear, objective evaluation criteria.
