This is a remote contractor role open to US-based professionals. No AI background is needed. Your financial reporting, audit, and tax compliance experience is what matters.
What You'll Do7

- 3Build and critique financial models, checking that the logic holds, the numbers are correct, and the output gives useful insight.

- 6Write and deliver clear feedback on project materials, both in written form and in conversations with cross-functional teams.
- 7Help develop and assess data sets used for AI training, drawing on any past work with data labeling, annotation, or model evaluation.

- 2Solid command of financial reporting, audit procedures, financial modeling, tax compliance, and legal document review.
- 3A track record of giving actionable feedback and communicating findings well in writing and speech.

Who Should Apply
This role fits a senior accountant with 5+ years of corporate experience who is comfortable reviewing financial statements, audit procedures, financial models, and tax documents, and who can explain findings in clear written and verbal feedback. Candidates who have worked on data labeling, annotation, RLHF, or model evaluation will stand out. The role is less suitable for someone who only wants traditional in-house accounting work or who dislikes detailed document review. A common reason candidates get rejected is that they list accounting skills without showing how they applied them to complex, real-world scenarios. Another is failing to demonstrate prior human data project experience, which is a preferred qualification here.
