*Fully Remote Opportunity* With the option to undertake as many, or as few hours as you would like (8-10 per week a miniumum)
This project is seeking experienced accounting professionals to evaluate how frontier AI
models handle real accounting work: technical accounting conclusions, close and reconciliation,
audit procedures, tax positions and provisions, and financial reporting.
In this role, you will design challenging, realistic tasks drawn from your own practice, such as a
month end close reconciliation package, a technical accounting memo on a revenue or lease
question, a tax provision workpaper, an audit sampling plan and results, a disclosure checklist,
or a management letter comment, run them through frontier AI agents, and evaluate what
comes back against a professional standard.
This is not a traditional accounting role. You will be helping build better AI by putting your
knowledge to work in a structured, flexible, fully remote environment.
Responsibilities
Design challenging, realistic accounting tasks drawn from your own day to day work: the
scenario, a prompt phrased the way you would brief a trusted colleague, and the
supporting files a professional would need (trial balances, schedules, source documents,
prior year workpapers, correspondence), which you author yourself.
Run those tasks through frontier AI models and evaluate the deliverable they produce against the standard you would hold a colleague to.
Compare two model outputs on identical prompts and files, decide which performed
better, and document where each fell short.
Flag concrete failures with evidence: misapplied standards, numbers that do not tie,
unsupported conclusions, fabricated or ignored source documents, missed disclosures,
and off brief interpretation of the ask.
Contribute across audit, technical accounting, tax, close and reporting, and review and
refine tasks built by other experts.
Qualifications
2+ years of hands on experience preferred in public accounting, corporate accounting,
audit, tax, or financial reporting.
Depth in at least one of: audit and assurance; technical accounting and financial reporting
(US GAAP and/or IFRS); tax (individual, corporate, partnership, provision); controllership,
close and consolidation; cost and managerial accounting; internal audit and SOX; forensic
accounting.
CPA, ACA, ACCA or equivalent is preferred but not required. Practical expertise outweighs
credentials. Credential holders may be asked to verify the credential during the
assessment.
General requirements:
General familiarity with AI and LLM tools. You have used models like Claude or ChatGPT
in professional work and have the judgment to tell a well reasoned answer from a
plausible sounding but incorrect one.
