FP&A Expert (AI Model Evaluation, $90–120/h)

About the role

Huzzle is seeking FP&A professionals to test how well frontier AI systems handle real financial planning and analysis work, and to document where they fall short. You will not be building forecasts for anyone. You will be finding the point at which an AI system stops being reliable at it, and proving that point objectively. Each submission has three parts: a realistic financial request, documented evidence of where the model failed it, and a scoring rubric that lets any reviewer grade a future attempt consistently. Work spans two reporting bases — US GAAP-based and IFRS-based. Experts fluent in either are encouraged to apply. Full training and worked examples are provided. Prior AI or data-annotation experience is not required.

Responsibilities

• Design realistic FP&A tasks: driver-based forecasts, budget-versus-actual variance and bridge analysis, scenario and sensitivity modelling, cost and headcount planning, unit economics, capital allocation cases, board-ready reporting packs.
• Ensure each task requires live research against primary sources — filings, published pricing, published rate and index data, regulatory and standards documentation — plus multi-step calculation and an actual file deliverable. Typically a multi-tab Excel workbook, but also memos, decks, PDFs and CSVs.
• Test each task against a frontier AI model and examine its output with the scrutiny you would apply before it went to your CFO.
• Document exactly where and how it failed: figures asserted that do not appear in the cited source, summary cells hardcoded instead of referencing the model, growth applied linearly where it should compound, currencies or reporting bases mixed within a column, variance bridges that do not reconcile, requirements silently dropped.
• Author scoring rubrics with sourced, objective criteria that another analyst could apply without repeating your research.
• Escalate task difficulty where the model succeeds, until a genuine gap is exposed.

Example of the work

A task you might build: "Build a three-year headcount and payroll forecast for a 250-person company growing 12% a year, split by department, with a summary tab comparing two hiring scenarios. Summary figures must be formulas, not typed values."

What the model got wrong: applied 12% growth linearly instead of compounding it, understating year three; typed the summary totals as constants, so changing an input changed nothing; produced four tabs when six were specified.

A line from your rubric: "+3 — Every figure on the summary tab is a formula referencing another tab, not a typed value."

Qualifications

• 3+ years in FP&A, corporate finance, financial control or commercial finance.
• Direct experience owning a forecast model, a budgeting cycle or a reporting pack, not only contributing to one.
• Advanced Excel modelling: multi-tab, driver-based, scenario- and sensitivity-enabled. Not template completion.
• The instinct to verify a figure against its source, and to notice when a number is subtly wrong rather than obviously wrong.
• Excellent written English and unusual precision with detail.
• 15–25 hours per week availability.
• ACA, ACCA, CIMA or CFA is a plus, not a requirement. Demonstrated depth matters more than credentials.

Contract terms

• You will be engaged as an independent contractor.
• Fully remote, completed on your own schedule.
• The engagement may be extended, shortened or concluded early depending on programme needs and performance.
