Overview
AfterQuery hires forensic accounting specialists to build the case material that teaches AI models how to reason through fraud and litigation work. You will write questions and case studies that cover fraud detection, asset tracing, damages calculations, interview methods, evidence handling, and expert report writing. Then you review model answers and mark what falls short of real investigative standards. The role runs remote and asynchronous, so you set your own schedule while working with forensic and technical peers.
What You'll Do5
- Draft forensic accounting questions and case studies that test an AI model on fraud detection, financial statement review, asset tracing, damages math, interview technique, evidence collection, and expert report writing.
- Score model responses against accepted forensic accounting practice and return written feedback that explains each error or gap.
- Work with forensic and technical colleagues to adjust question difficulty so each item pushes the model without losing educational value.
- Check that every scenario stays accurate, uses sound investigative method, and reflects how a real engagement would unfold.
- Turn complex case files into clear prompts that require the model to show its reasoning step by step.
Requirements7
- Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or a related field.
- Hands-on background in forensic accounting, fraud examination, or litigation support, with a firm grasp of investigative method and financial analysis.
- Strong analytical skills plus clear writing and speaking, matched by close attention to detail.
- Several years of forensic accounting work across case types such as fraud investigations, economic damages, expert witness testimony, or bankruptcy.
- A CPA, CFE, CFF, or master's degree strengthens your application.
- Experience with forensic training, professional associations, or investigative technology initiatives helps.
- Familiarity with AI tools or technology-driven investigations is a plus.
Who Should Apply
The ideal candidate has worked forensic accounting or fraud examination cases and can explain investigative choices in plain prose. You hold or pursue a CPA, CFE, or CFF, and you enjoy turning case experience into teaching material for AI models.
