Overview
AfterQuery builds training content that teaches AI models to reason through real audit work, and this role puts a practicing auditor on the authoring side. You will write questions and case studies covering audit planning, internal controls testing, substantive procedures, fraud detection and evidence evaluation, then judge what the model produces against GAAS and standard practice. A group of audit and technical specialists works with you to calibrate difficulty so each prompt tests real competence rather than recall. The company is YC-backed, the schedule is asynchronous, and the engagement runs remote at $113 per hour.
What You'll Do6
- Author audit questions and case studies that push AI models through planning, risk assessment and controls testing scenarios.
- Score model answers and write detailed feedback that flags where reasoning drifts from auditing standards.
- Check each response for factual accuracy, correct application of GAAS and sound professional judgment.
- Team up with audit and technical specialists to adjust question difficulty and keep material both demanding and instructive.
- Cover the full spread of audit work, from substantive procedures and documentation through fraud detection and compliance checks.
- Refine existing prompts when a case study turns out too easy, too vague or open to a shortcut answer.
Requirements4
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance or a related discipline.
- Hands-on audit experience with a firm grasp of Generally Accepted Auditing Standards and internal control frameworks.
- Sharp analytical skills plus clear writing and speaking, with the detail focus that audit review demands.
- Ability to spot weak reasoning in a model response and explain the specific standard or procedure it missed.
Who Should Apply
Auditors with several years of practice behind them who can move between financial statement, internal, compliance and operational audits and explain each one's logic. A CPA, CIA or master's in accounting strengthens the case, as does exposure to audit training, standards work or audit technology.
Salary Insight
The rate is $113 per hour, well above what staff-level audit roles pay and in line with the premium placed on credentialed, multi-year audit experience. Pay is hourly, so earnings track the hours you commit to authoring and reviewing prompts.
