Senior Accounting Expert – AI Training & Evaluation (Remote, Global)

About the role

We're building a global bench of experienced accounting professionals to help shape the next generation of AI systems that can reason, judge, and perform real-world accounting work. This isn't traditional bookkeeping or client work — it's a chance to translate your professional judgment, technical expertise, and years of hands-on experience into structured tasks, evaluation rubrics, and scored work samples that directly train and benchmark advanced AI models.

We're looking for practitioners across the full spectrum of accounting practice — audit, tax, financial reporting, controllership, forensic accounting, bookkeeping, and accounting systems — with either US GAAP/PCAOB expertise, IFRS/ISA expertise, or both. Whether you specialize in public company reporting, enterprise controllership, or technical accounting research, your knowledge is directly applicable here.

What you'll do

• Design realistic, high-fidelity accounting scenarios drawn from real-world workflows: journal entries, reconciliations, close packages, financial statement preparation, disclosures, audit procedures, and technical memos
• Translate everyday accounting judgment and decision-making into structured, high-quality training data for AI systems
• Define what "excellent work" looks like by building task-specific grading criteria and rubrics for accounting deliverables
• Score completed work samples with rigorous, well-reasoned written justifications and feedback
• Build evaluation tasks calibrated to the reporting complexity and materiality stakes of major public company and enterprise accounting functions
• Contribute to either a US track (US GAAP, PCAOB standards), an International track (IFRS, International Standards on Auditing), or both
• Collaborate with a distributed team of accounting experts and AI researchers to continuously refine task quality and evaluation standards

Requirements

• Significant professional experience in one or more areas of accounting practice: audit, tax, financial reporting, controllership, forensic accounting, bookkeeping, or accounting systems
• Strong working knowledge of US GAAP and/or IFRS, with familiarity in PCAOB or International Standards on Auditing a plus
• Demonstrated ability to exercise sound professional judgment on complex, real-world accounting scenarios
• Excellent written communication skills, with the ability to articulate reasoning and justify decisions clearly
• Comfort working independently in a remote, project-based capacity
• Professional accounting credentials (CPA, ACCA, CA, or equivalent) strongly preferred

Compensation

This is a flexible, remote contract opportunity with rates ranging from **$70–$160/hour** depending on experience, specialization, and track (US GAAP/PCAOB vs. IFRS/ISA). Multiple engagement slots are available across skill levels and focus areas.
