Writer

Writers play an essential role in our editorial process at First Quarter Finance, taking each post from an unanswered question to a thoroughly verified resource that our users can rely on.

You must excel in all aspects of writing, have a deep understanding of research best practices, and have the ability to distill complex topics into easy-to-understand content.

Experience writing finance-oriented online content is required. Preference will be given to candidates who are credible experts in personal finance and consumer topics.

We also value writers who bring a user-focused, adaptable mindset to the role.

What we can do for you:

  • Offer a rate of $20+ per hour based on your experience and qualifications. Payment is every two weeks, with zero fees and no invoicing required. We also offer pay raises based on performance.
  • Offer flexible hours. This is a contract position and doesn't require a set schedule. We do ask that you commit at least 15 hours per week to this role.
  • Offer a wide variety of purely editorial topics -- no sponsored or branded content.
  • Invite you into a fantastic remote team that has a culture of journalistic integrity and respect for one another.
  • Value your contributions. We make sure everything we do is for a purpose and no work goes unappreciated.
  • Offer stable work. Founded in 2013, we're hiring to expand, not to replace anyone.

What you can do for us:

  • Take new posts from basic outlines to near-perfect. Topics are provided.
  • Work closely with our Managing Editor to create content that is the very best on the web for that particular topic.
  • Maintain a high standard of efficiency, accuracy, and quality.
  • Exhibit an expertise in personal finance and a passion for helping people navigate and improve their financial lives.
  • Demonstrate an ability to follow our style guide and standard grammar conventions.
  • Be adaptable, curious, and forward-thinking. We're continuously looking for ways to improve and expect Writers to do the same.
  • Value open communication and show an ability to receive and respond to feedback.

In your message:

  • Please tell us about yourself.
  • Attach your resume.
  • Provide a link to or attach your portfolio or writing samples.
  • Explain your experience in the area of personal finance.
  • Briefly explain the cost of owning a Tesla vs. owning a traditional gasoline vehicle. Which is a better value?
  • Identify one post on the blog where you feel we could've done a better job, and tell us how you would've done so.
  • Answer, "What have you done that's exceptional?"
