About the role

The workflows are calibrated to the forecasting complexity, decision stakes, and scope of major corporate financial planning functions.

This role builds worlds on two tracks: a US track (US GAAP-based reporting and corporate finance conventions) and an International track (IFRS-based reporting and international corporate finance conventions). Experts qualified in either or both tracks are encouraged to apply.

Contributors design FP&A scenarios, draft reference outputs, and write rubrics that capture how senior FP&A leaders think.

Contract and Payment Terms

  • You will be engaged as an independent contractor.
  • This is a fully remote role that can be completed on your own schedule.
  • Projects can be extended, shortened, or concluded early depending on needs and performance.
  • Your work at Mercor will not involve access to confidential or proprietary information from any employer, client, or institution.

Responsibilities

  • Construct FP&A scenarios spanning budgeting and forecasting cycles, variance analysis and business partnering, and capital allocation and strategic planning decisions.
  • Build tasks across financial planning and forecasting, variance analysis and reporting, business partnering, capital budgeting and investment analysis, and financial modeling.
  • Develop scenarios involving tools such as FP&A platforms (Anaplan, Adaptive Insights, Planful), BI tools (Tableau, Power BI), and ERP systems used at large companies.
  • Apply FP&A methodologies (driver-based forecasting, variance analysis, scenario and sensitivity modeling) to the reporting basis a world targets (US GAAP-based; IFRS-based), and produce reference financial models, forecast decks, variance reports, and business case analyses.
  • Author rubrics that distinguish authentic FP&A judgment from generic textbook or spreadsheet-template-level work.

Preferred skills

  • 5+ years working as an FP&A leader, Director of FP&A, or CFO at a major company.
  • Direct ownership of budgeting cycles, forecasting models, or capital allocation decisions.
  • Fluency in FP&A tooling, plus understanding of corporate finance and financial modeling best practices.
  • A recognized professional credential is a plus (CFA, MBA, or CPA); prior rubric or training authorship is a plus.

Eligibility

Work arrangement: Fully remote

  • Please note: We are unable to support H1-B or STEM OPT candidates at this time.

Compensation details

$80–$90 per hour.

  • Payments are weekly on Stripe or Wise based on services rendered.
