$175–300/hr

rate as listed

Workload: ~15h/week
Engagement: Project-based
Location: Worldwide
Field: Finance

Review and produce M&A research, valuation models, transaction analyses, and presentation materials used to train AI systems. The work is remote and suited to experienced bankers who can identify numerical, accounting, and strategic weaknesses in deal materials.

The work

You will conduct company and industry research, screen potential buyers or targets, analyze comparable companies, and build or review valuation and transaction models. Day-to-day assignments may include tracing assumptions through an Excel model, testing deal sensitivities, explaining accounting treatments, and correcting methodological or logical errors.

Review and evaluation

You will also prepare or edit pitchbook-style materials and critique sample outputs for numerical inaccuracies, weak strategic rationale, or unclear presentation. The platform is likely to screen for specific evidence of live M&A execution, model ownership, senior-level review judgment, and the ability to explain why an analysis is right or wrong under detailed follow-up. Prior AI experience is not required.

Practical details

This is a remote contractor role. The listing does not specify whether assignments are fully asynchronous, a minimum weekly commitment, or typical working hours, so candidates should confirm scheduling and turnaround expectations during screening.

Included with this listing

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 background reflects hands-on M&A or coverage work at the ownership level expected of an experienced Senior Associate or Vice President.
A strong answer: Give a precise title, team type, tenure, transaction types, and personal responsibilities across models, analyses, and client materials. Separate work you produced from work you only reviewed or observed.
Where people lose it: Candidates lose points by citing total deal value or firm prestige without explaining which model tabs, analyses, or presentation sections they personally controlled.

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