Role Title: Financial Due Diligence & Transaction Accounting Expert

Role Type: Contractor

Location: Remote - US/Canada preferred; UK and Latin America also considered

Pay: $60-120/hr. Paid per task

Time commitment: 10+ hours/week required; 20+ preferred.

Time per task: Approximately 3 hours, following approximately 15 hours of initial environment development. Estimates include agent execution time.

Your tasks: Primarily review transaction-related financial analyses and AI-generated deliverables, and help develop task instructions and objective evaluation criteria.

our partner is engaging experienced financial due diligence and transaction accounting professionals to help build tasks that measure how effectively AI systems can perform complex transaction work.

You’ll apply your transaction expertise to review realistic financial analyses, challenge assumptions, and identify material errors. Hands-on experience with agentic AI tools is required: you’ll work with agents to support analysis and independently verify the quality of their outputs.

Scope of Work

  • Review financial due diligence, quality-of-earnings, and carve-out financial analyses for accuracy, completeness, and supporting evidence.
  • Identify unsupported adjustments, reconciliation issues, double counting, and inconsistent accounting treatment.
  • Use agentic AI tools to support review and help develop realistic transaction materials, task instructions, and objective grading criteria.

Required Qualifications

  • 5+ years of professional experience, including substantive hands-on work in financial due diligence, transaction services, or carve-out financial analysis.
  • Direct responsibility for preparing or reviewing transaction-related financial analyses and deliverables. Audit experience or a CPA alone is insufficient.
  • Hands-on experience using agentic AI tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or Claude Cowork for substantive work. General chatbot use alone is insufficient.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience at a Big Four firm or another leading transaction advisory practice.
  • CPA qualification.
  • Experience developing review standards, training junior professionals, or writing internal playbooks.
  • Prior benchmark development or AI evaluation experience.
  • Availability for 20+ hours per week.

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 $600–$1,200 and 20 hours about $1,200–$2,400 before tax. Hours depend on the project, so treat this as a ceiling, not a promise.
Openings
Only 1 opening. Shape your CV around the requirements above so a reviewer sees the match in seconds.
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.
