Scope of Work

• Design and author complex, realistic finance-manager evaluation tasks that mirror real-world budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis scenarios.
• Source, create, and curate authentic supporting artifacts such as budget spreadsheets, forecast models, reconciliations, and technical documentation.

• Develop detailed, multi-point rubrics (35+ items) focused on numerical rigor, methodological soundness, and narrative quality for grading AI agent outputs.
• Ensure tasks reflect the full sophistication and nuance of true corporate finance practice, avoiding oversimplified or textbook examples.
• Communicate findings and rationales clearly and precisely, both in writing and verbally, as part of submission requirements.

• Hands-on expertise with month-end and quarter-end close processes, including reconciliation and variance analysis.

• Demonstrated ability to synthesize complex data into actionable financial insights and recommendations.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, capable of articulating technical concepts to diverse audiences.
