Financial Due Diligence & Transaction Accounting

$60–120/hr

rate as listed

Workload: 10+ hrs/week
Engagement: Project-based
Location: Worldwide
Field: Finance

Review AI-generated financial due diligence, quality-of-earnings, and carve-out analyses for material errors and weak supporting evidence. You will also use agentic AI tools to develop realistic transaction tasks, instructions, and objective grading criteria.

The work

This contractor role focuses on reviewing transaction-related financial analyses and AI-generated deliverables. Day to day, you may assess quality-of-earnings or carve-out work, test reconciliations, challenge assumptions, trace adjustments to evidence, and flag double counting or inconsistent accounting treatment.

What the screening measures

micro1 is looking for at least five years of professional experience that includes substantive, hands-on financial due diligence, transaction services, or carve-out analysis. The screening will test whether you have directly prepared or reviewed transaction deliverables, can distinguish material errors from presentational issues, and can explain how you independently verify work produced with agentic AI. Audit experience or a CPA alone does not meet the stated experience requirement.

Tools and evaluation work

Hands-on use of agentic AI tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or Claude Cowork is required, and general chatbot use alone is insufficient. Beyond reviewing outputs, you will help create realistic transaction materials, precise task instructions, and grading criteria that different reviewers can apply consistently.

Practical details

The work is remote, with candidates in the US and Canada preferred and candidates in the UK and Latin America also considered. A commitment of at least 10 hours per week is required, with 20 or more preferred; individual tasks are estimated at approximately three hours after approximately 15 hours of initial environment development, including agent execution time. Compensation is paid per task.

Interview prep — 10 questions

Matched to what this platform's screening actually measures. Answer each out loud in 60–90 seconds: claim → concrete example → implication.

What it tests: This tests whether your experience involved ownership of transaction analysis rather than adjacent audit work or high-level supervision.
A strong answer: Anchor the answer in one identifiable engagement, stating the transaction context, your exact responsibilities, the analyses you handled, and how your findings affected the deliverable. Include enough detail about source data and review steps to make your role verifiable under follow-up.
Where people lose it: Candidates lose points by describing what their team produced without distinguishing the schedules, adjustments, or conclusions they personally prepared or reviewed.

Summary, eligibility guidance and screening preparation are prepared by Sidequest from the platform's posting. Check the source listing before applying.
