## Description

**Compensation: $80 - $120 per hour**

We are collaborating with a leading AI lab to engage experienced corporate / controllership accountants.

-   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
