Finance Research Expert

Overview

micro1 is hiring 20 contractors for a remote finance research project focused on creating verified, source-backed questions about real U.S. public companies and checking those questions against AI model outputs. The work is remote and open worldwide. The role is paid on an hourly basis and involves roughly 4 to 8 hours per task.

What You'll Do

• Write finance research questions with a verified, sourced answer.
• Use primary materials such as 10-Ks, 10-Qs, 8-Ks, proxy statements, earnings releases, and investor presentations.
• Create questions that require locating specific figures in filings or comparing multiple documents to determine the correct answer.
• Work with cases where different sources contain conflicting figures, such as original versus restated numbers or adjusted versus reported results.
• Pay close attention to fiscal period, filing version, and whether an amended or latest version is the correct source.
• Test each question against current AI models and keep only questions the models answer incorrectly.
• Rewrite questions when wording could allow more than one valid answer.

Who They're Looking For

• Hands-on experience reading U.S. SEC filings and familiarity with U.S. GAAP.
• Background in equity research or investment analysis covering U.S. companies.
• Experience in investment banking or corporate development, especially with deal filings, prospectuses, ownership history, and subsidiary structures.
• Credit or restructuring analysis experience, including credit agreements, bond terms, and bankruptcy filings.
• SEC reporting or audit experience, including restatements, footnotes, and how figures change across filings.
• Corporate law or due diligence experience involving entity tracing, executives, and related parties across records.
• Comfort reading long filings, including footnotes and tables, and strong written English.

Selection Process

1. Apply with your resume and a short profile.
2. Complete a short finance interview about your experience with U.S. filings and financial reporting.
3. The team reviews your experience against project needs.
4. If selected, you receive guidelines, complete an initial task, and the task is reviewed before you continue.
