Expert Reviewer, Securities Filings and Financial Data

You’ll check financial figures, entities and statements that our automated checks could not settle, against the official filings.

What you’ll do

• Check that a figure quoted in a research note matches the filing it cites, including the period, the units and any restatement.
• Check that a company, fund or subsidiary named in a document matches the official registries.
• Check whether a statement about a company’s disclosures is supported by what it actually filed.

For each item, you decide supported, not supported or not decidable, with a short written rationale and the sources you used. We would much rather you say “not decidable” than guess. You do not give investment advice: your decisions are about whether a statement matches its source.

You have

• At least one of: the CFA charter, or CFA Level II or higher passed; an active CPA licence, or at least two CPA exam sections passed; or equity-research, audit or SEC-reporting experience.
• Fluency with official filings (for example annual and quarterly reports, proxy statements and ownership filings) and with how figures are restated and reclassified.
• Care, and the discipline to say “not decidable” when the filing doesn’t settle it.
• Fluent written English.

We confirm each credential with the body that issued it (CFA Institute or the state board of accountancy), only with your written consent.

Pay

• $65–$110 per hour (W-2).
• $65–$85 for CFA candidates who have passed Level II or higher, CPA candidates with at least two exam sections passed, and analysts with equity-research, audit or SEC-reporting experience; $85–$110 for CFA charterholders and licensed CPAs with audit, SEC-reporting or financial-research experience. Everyone at the same level starts at the same rate.
• Pay is hourly, for all time worked. It is never per piece.
• Quality bonus: an extra 15% of your pay for an assignment’s hours when your accuracy on its answer-keyed check items is at least 95% and none of your decisions on it is reversed in our second review. It is paid with your regular pay on the next payday.
• Hard-to-fill assignments may carry a premium of up to 25%, stated in the offer before you accept it.
• The range is the pay we reasonably expect to offer. Everyone at the same level starts at the same rate.
• Benefits: paid sick leave as required by law; workers’ compensation; reimbursement of necessary remote-work expenses. Any other benefits are stated in the offer.

How the work is offered

• Work is offered per assignment when customer projects are funded; there are no guaranteed hours; you choose which assignments to accept. When there is no assignment, there is no work and no pay obligation.
• Each offer states the task, an estimated time, the deadline and your hourly rate. Accept or decline it with no penalty.
• You are paid for every hour you work on an accepted assignment, including any time beyond the estimate, with a minimum of one paid hour per accepted assignment.
• Training, the qualification assessment and quality-check tasks are paid at your rate.
• Part-time W-2 employment, not gig or 1099 work: your employer is I Am Violet Inc. (dba Metis Foundry), and you are paid through our payroll provider. Variable hours, with no on-call duty and no scheduled shifts.
• Where we are: we are building our expert pool now. Onboarding and the paid qualification assessment begin when the first customer projects are funded, and we will tell you honestly when that is.

• You must be authorized to work in the United States for the full period of each assignment. We do not sponsor visas.

• No assignment in this role involves export-controlled data.
