Your tasks: Design realistic, multi-step finance and accounting tasks with objective criteria for grading the output

our partner is engaging experienced finance and accounting practitioners to design the tasks that measure what AI systems can actually do. Your domain knowledge is what matters here — no prior AI experience required.

The work is to turn real finance workflows into benchmark tasks: realistic, difficult, and gradable against objective criteria. If you’ve built a review checklist, trained a junior analyst against a standard, or signed off on someone else’s workpapers, that’s the instinct this needs.

Scope of Work

  • Design multi-step tasks drawn from real finance and accounting work — FP&A analysis, financial reporting, audit procedures, reconciliations — with realistic reference files and clear instructions.
  • Define objective grading criteria so two qualified reviewers would reach the same verdict on the same output.
  • Build tasks that require judgment rather than lookup: ones where the right answer depends on reading the materials correctly.
  • Create or source the supporting materials each task needs: spreadsheets, GL extracts, financial statements, policy documents.
  • Flag tasks that turn out to be ambiguous or ungradable instead of submitting them anyway.
  • Deliver approved tasks on schedule and at the required quality level.

Preferred Qualifications

  • 5+ years of hands-on responsibility in FP&A, financial reporting, audit, reconciliations, or accounting — direct ownership of the work, not supervisory-only or adjacent exposure.
  • Experience creating or applying structured review standards: audit programs, review checklists, close checklists, grading rubrics, or training assessments.
  • Strong Excel capability and comfort reasoning across multiple documents at once.
  • CPA, CA, ACCA, CMA or equivalent is a plus, but not required.
  • Strong written English.
  • AI or LLM evaluation experience is a plus, but not required.

How the selection process works

  • Apply and complete the screening questions
  • Complete the AI interview — this is how we showcase your expertise to the client
  • Profile review
  • Onboarding — our Talent Ops team will get you set up

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 $400–$900 and 20 hours about $800–$1,800 before tax. Hours depend on the project, so treat this as a ceiling, not a promise.
Openings
20 openings means this is a high-volume project. You are not competing for one seat: if you pass the test, there is room for you.
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), 5+ years of experience. Put it in the first line of your profile: reviewers screen for it before anything else.
Timing
This listing is new today. 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.
