CFA Finance Expert (AI Evaluation)

A leading AI lab is expanding its roster of expert contributors, and Braintrust is helping identify accredited CFA finance professionals to support the development and evaluation of its advanced AI systems. This is a remote, short-term, freelance engagement with an immediate start, where you apply deep financial expertise to help make AI more accurate and reliable on complex finance topics.

In this role you will create technical, domain-specific finance prompts and review AI-generated responses end to end: the final output, the underlying reasoning, and the steps taken to reach it. You will research and verify accuracy against reliable sources and provide clear, expert-level feedback. Your judgment helps define what a correct, complete, and well-reasoned answer looks like across investment analysis, corporate finance, valuation, financial reporting, and related areas. We are looking for people with the rigor and credentialing of an accredited CFA, who can move quickly and reason precisely across a range of financial topics.

This is a fast-moving engagement. Onboarding is immediate and the schedule is intensive over a short window, so we are prioritizing contributors who are available to start right away and who can commit to full days including weekends for the duration. It is an opportunity to contribute to frontier AI work while leveraging deep domain experience. Contributors who perform well may be considered for additional opportunities beyond this initial engagement.

Responsibilities:

• Create and refine technical, domain-specific finance prompts that probe and stress-test the AI's capabilities across investment, corporate finance, valuation, and financial reporting topics.
• Evaluate AI-generated responses end to end: the final output, the underlying reasoning, and the intermediate steps, for accuracy, completeness, and quality.
• Research and verify financial figures, methods, and claims against authoritative sources.
• Identify errors, gaps, edge cases, and inconsistencies in AI outputs, and clearly explain what is wrong and why.
• Apply detailed project guidelines consistently, and flag ambiguity or areas where guidance could improve.
• Provide expert written feedback that improves how AI systems reason about finance.
• Maintain a high standard of accuracy and consistency while working at pace.

Requirements:

• An accredited CFA certification or license (active or inactive).
• Substantial professional experience in finance (for example investment banking, fixed income or equity research, quantitative finance, corporate finance, FP&A, valuation, audit, or assurance).
• Strong written English and the ability to explain complex financial reasoning clearly.
• Excellent attention to detail and sound analytical judgment.
• Comfortable working independently in a remote environment.
• Based in the United States.
• Available to start immediately and to work approximately 8 hours per day including weekends for a short-term engagement running for 5-10 days.
