Overview

AfterQuery produces training material for AI models, and this role puts your accounting judgment at the center of that work. You write financial reporting case studies and exam-style questions that probe how well a model handles revenue recognition, lease accounting, consolidations and SEC reporting requirements. Then you grade what the model produces, flag the errors, and spell out what a correct GAAP answer looks like. Accounting and technical specialists work beside you to calibrate difficulty, so each item stays demanding without turning ambiguous.

What You'll Do7

  • Write financial reporting questions and case studies that test a model on revenue recognition, lease accounting, consolidations, fair value measurement and footnote disclosures.
  • Build technical memo exercises and SEC reporting prompts tied to real disclosure requirements.
  • Review model answers line by line and mark every point where they drift from GAAP.
  • Send written feedback that names the specific standard or rule a response missed.
  • Work with accounting and engineering specialists to set question difficulty and coverage.
  • Rework existing items so each one stays challenging and still teaches something.
  • Keep terminology and citation practice consistent across the question bank.

Requirements9

  • Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance or a related discipline.
  • Hands-on background in financial reporting, SEC reporting or technical accounting.
  • Solid command of GAAP and the full financial statement preparation cycle.
  • Sharp analytical eye plus clear writing and speaking skills for feedback notes.
  • CPA credential, requested with your application.
  • Public company or Big 4 experience preferred.
  • Exposure to 10-K, 10-Q or 8-K filings, technical accounting work or accounting technology initiatives helps.
  • Master's degree in accounting or specialized certifications is a plus.
  • Familiarity with AI or technology-driven accounting tools is welcome but not required.

Who Should Apply

Accountants with SEC reporting or technical accounting depth who enjoy explaining why an answer is wrong. Big 4 or public company backgrounds fit well, and a CPA helps. Work is remote and asynchronous, so the role suits people who want project income alongside a current position.

Salary Insight

The listing pays $113.00 per hour. That rate sits above most staff and senior accountant salaries, which matches the expert bar here: SEC filing experience, GAAP depth and often a CPA license. Weekly hours are not specified, so confirm the expected commitment before you sign on.
