Job Description
This role is for one of our clients
Compensation: $80 - $120 per hour
We are collaborating with a leading AI lab to engage experienced corporate / controllership accountants. You'll translate the day-to-day of running the books — financial reporting, the month-end close, and core accounting operations — into structured, high-quality training data that teaches AI to reason about real accounting work.
Focus Areas
Financial accounting & reporting · bookkeeping / client accounting services (CAS) · accounting operations (AP / AR / payroll).
Key Responsibilities
- Design realistic scenarios from your controllership work — financial statement preparation, journal entries, account & bank reconciliations, month-end / period-end close, fixed-asset & depreciation schedules, accruals and prepaids
- Review and compare AI-generated accounting outputs for accuracy, GAAP compliance, and sound professional judgment
- Provide clear written feedback that improves how AI performs close and reporting tasks
- Collaborate asynchronously with the research team
Ideal Qualifications
- CPA, or 3–5+ years of corporate/in-house or firm accounting experience (no niche certification required)
- Hands-on ownership of the general ledger and the period-end close
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
- Comfortable with common accounting tools (QuickBooks, NetSuite, SAP, Oracle, Excel)
- Strong written communication and attention to detail
Application Process
- Submit a resume or a short summary of your accounting experience
- Complete a short form on your practice area, specialties, and certifications
- Selected applicants may complete a brief sample task
We consider all qualified applicants without regard to legally protected characteristics and provide reasonable accommodations upon request.
