Remote Accounting & Tax Expert, AI Trainer

Contract, 12-week engagement (30-40+ hrs/week) for US-based remote professionals.

About the role

Our client is seeking accounting, tax, and finance professionals to act as subject matter experts in a 12-week AI training sprint. Contributors will 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 applying accounting expertise to 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

Requirements

• Available for 30-40 hours/week for the full 12-week engagement
• 7+ years demonstrated accounting 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

Pay

Hourly rate: $75 to $125 per hour (USD/1099), based on experience and suitability for the work.

Paid skills assessment required (3-4 hours, $240 flat rate; no AI/LLM assistance permitted).
