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).

Requirements

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.

Contract and Payment Terms

• You will be engaged as an independent contractor.

• This is a fully remote role that can be completed on your own schedule.

• Projects can be extended, shortened, or concluded early depending on needs and performance.

• Your work will not involve access to confidential or proprietary information from any employer, client, or institution.
