Role Overview

  • our partner is hiring experienced accountants and auditors to build and review evaluation tasks for AI agents.

  • Each task is set in a realistic simulated company, with the ledgers, workpapers, policies, emails and business apps an accounting team really uses.

  • You make sure each task reads like a real request, the reference answer holds up against the source records, and the grading rubric checks what a senior accountant would check.

Key Responsibilities

  • Refine AI-drafted task prompts so they read like a real request from a controller, CFO or audit lead, without giving the answer away.

  • Check the reference answer against the world's files and app records, and correct what is wrong.

  • Write and tighten grading rubrics: pass/fail criteria with exact values, plus the judgment calls a generalist would miss.

  • Read how leading AI models attempt each task and confirm they fail for fair, defensible reasons.

  • Work across financial reporting and technical accounting (revenue recognition, leases, consolidation, business combinations, SEC reporting), month-end and year-end close, internal controls and SOX, tax provisions, audit fieldwork, and industry areas such as fund, nonprofit, construction and SaaS accounting.

Ideal Qualifications

  • 3+ years as an accountant, controller or audit partner. Big Four or major-corporation experience preferred.

  • Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance or a related field.

  • Active CPA license, or an equivalent such as CPA Canada, CPA Australia, CA, ACCA or ICAEW.

  • Hands-on ownership of financial reporting, audit engagements or technical accounting, with working knowledge of US GAAP / IFRS, SEC filings and PCAOB / ISA standards.

  • Prior experience on a our partner RL project is a plus.

Details

  • Pay: $95/hour.

  • You start with a short onboarding session and a paid skills assessment. Once you pass, you can claim your first task right away.

  • Strong performers can move into reviewer and world lead roles.

This is a 100% remote contract role, open to applicants worldwide in the countries the employer accepts.

What to know before you apply

Pay
At the published rate, 10 hours a week would be about $950 and 20 hours about $1,900 before tax. Hours depend on the project, so treat this as a ceiling, not a promise.
Location
Open worldwide in the countries the employer accepts. Payments usually go out through services like PayPal or Wise, so check one of them works in your country.
Credentials
The listing asks for a CPA (or similar), 3+ years of experience. Put it in the first line of your profile: reviewers screen for it before anything else.
Timing
This listing is 1 day old. Projects can close once they have enough people, so it is worth applying while it is open.
Test tips for accountants
  • Show the journal entries or the tax computation, not just the conclusion.
  • State the standard and country (IFRS, US GAAP, local tax code) before you judge an answer.
  • Check dates and thresholds: AI often uses last year's rates.
