Senior Accountant / CPA - Remote AI Model Trainer, $75-$125/hr

About the role

Remote Accounting, Tax, and Finance subject matter experts needed to train AI for a 12‑week project; 30 to 40 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 30‑40 hours/week for the full 12‑week engagement
• 7+ years accounting or tax experience (public accounting, corporate finance or tax, public accounting 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), DOE and suitability for the work. A paid skills assessment is required (3‑4 hours, $240 flat rate; no AI/LLM assistance permitted).

Schedule

Contract position for 12 weeks, 30‑40+ hours per week. Fully remote (work from anywhere in the US).
