We are seeking experienced accounting professionals to support a project focused on evaluating how effectively AI systems perform real-world accounting work.

You will assess both AI-generated and human-produced outputs and provide rigorous, well-reasoned feedback based on professional accounting standards.
This role is ideal for accountants who have strong technical expertise, excellent attention to detail, and the ability to distinguish between work that is merely plausible and work that would meet the standards expected in a professional accounting environment.

- Identify technical errors, unsupported conclusions, incomplete analysis, and areas where work fails to meet professional standards.
- 5+ years of professional accounting experience.
- Experience in audit, assurance, or advisory at a leading global accounting firm, or in a senior accounting position within a large public or private organization.

- Previous experience with AI training, AI evaluation, data annotation, rubric-based assessment, or human-data projects is a strong advantage.
- Submit your resume or relevant professional background to begin the application process.
- Qualified applicants may be asked to complete a brief technical accounting assessment or provide additional information about their professional experience.
- Selected candidates will be evaluated based on their accounting expertise, analytical judgment, attention to detail, and ability to communicate technical conclusions clearly.
