Job Description:
Remote Accounting, Tax, and Finance subject matter experts needed to train AI for a 12-week project; a minimum of 10 hours per week required. Backgrounds in public accounting, corporate finance and/or tax, advisory, M&A, or similar backgrounds are all great for this role.

Our client is seeking accounting, tax, and finance professionals for a 12-week AI training sprint. Contributors act as subject matter experts to evaluate, annotate, and improve AI-generated responses on accounting, tax, and financial reporting topics, and design realistic professional tasks (scenarios, supporting files, grading rubrics) used to train and test AI systems. This is not a traditional accounting role — no client work, no month-end close, no deadlines — but a structured, flexible engagement putting accounting knowledge toward AI development.

Responsibilities

Review and evaluate AI-generated accounting responses for accuracy, clarity, and professional appropriateness
Annotate and rank model outputs to guide AI training
Write expert-level answers to accounting questions as training examples
Flag errors, misconceptions, or ambiguous outputs and provide corrective guidance
Design and build realistic task scenarios from professional experience, including prompts, supporting files, and grading rubrics
Run tasks against AI models and iterate based on expert reviewer feedback
Follow detailed written instructions precisely (formatting, upload requirements, etc.)
Maintain consistent quality and throughput for the full sprint

Qualifications

Available for a minimum of 10 hours/week for the full 12-week engagement
7+ years accounting or tax experience (public accounting, corporate finance or tax, advisory, M&A, or similar)
CPA or EA preferred but not required
Strong written communication skills
Comfortable working independently in a remote, self-directed setting
Careful reader of instructions; receptive to feedback and revisions
Baseline tech literacy (cloud tools, browser profiles, desktop app installs, file conversion/zipping)
Based in the United States
General understanding of LLMs/AI landscape

Compensation & Terms

Paid on a regular cadence; contract position
Fully remote (work from anywhere in the US)
Paid skills assessment required (3–4 hours)
No obligation to continue after the sprint; flexible project-based work often available afterward
