- Create structured examples that reflect how accountants actually reason through problems
- Provide clear written feedback that improves how AI performs accounting tasks
- Collaborate asynchronously with the research team

- CPA, CA, ACCA, CMA, EA, or an equivalent professional credential required
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
- Comfortable with common accounting tools (e.g., QuickBooks, NetSuite, SAP, Oracle, Excel)
- Strong written communication and attention to detail
More About the Opportunity
- Open to all accounting specialties — contribute where your expertise is strongest
- Work spans task design, evaluation, and structured feedback on AI accounting outputs
- Strong contributors advance into reviewer, lead, and domain-expert roles
