You've built financial statements that hold up under audit and regulator scrutiny — now define that bar for AI. About Aptura Aptura works with leading foundational AI labs to bring institutional finance expertise directly into AI model development. Founded by ex-Lazard and Partners Group professionals, we operate from London and San Francisco. The Opportunity You've owned external reporting cycles, prepared consolidated statements, and made disclosure judgements that hold up under scrutiny. Now that expertise has a new application: shaping how frontier AI models reason through financial reporting the way an experienced practitioner does.

What You'll Do

Work is scoped by project and ranges from short engagements to ongoing collaborations, structured as a contract or a monthly retainer. Compensation $80–$200 per hour, aligned with expertise, scope, and impact; exceptional or highly specialised expertise can go higher. Ongoing engagements are typically structured as a monthly retainer rather than hourly billing.
