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.
