Overview
AfterQuery builds training material for AI models, and this role supplies the tax side of that work. You write tax accounting questions and case studies that push models on tax return preparation, deduction optimization, tax law interpretation and audit representation, then grade what the model produces against real IRS rules and standard practice. A team of tax specialists and engineers works alongside you to calibrate how hard each problem should be. The setup is remote and asynchronous, so you fit the work around your own schedule while drawing on your day-to-day tax experience.
What You'll Do7
- Draft tax accounting problems and case studies that probe how well a model handles return preparation, planning strategy, deduction choices, statutory interpretation, audit representation and estimated tax math.
- Review model answers line by line and flag anything that departs from IRS regulations or accepted tax accounting practice.
- Write detailed feedback on each answer that explains the error and points to the correct treatment.
- Work with tax specialists and technical staff to set question difficulty so problems stay demanding without becoming unfair.
- Check that every scenario reflects a situation a practicing tax accountant would recognize.
- Adjust and re-test problems after review rounds until the answer key holds up.
- Keep case content current as tax law and filing rules change.
Requirements7
- Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance or a related discipline.
- Hands-on background as a tax accountant, tax preparer or compliance specialist, with solid command of federal and state tax law.
- Sharp analytical skills plus clear writing and speaking, since feedback on model answers has to be precise.
- Strong attention to detail when checking figures, citations and regulatory references.
- CPA credential or IRS PTIN, both requested during application.
- Experience with QuickBooks or a comparable accounting platform.
- Familiarity with AI or technology-driven tax tools helps.
Who Should Apply
Tax accountants with several years across individual, corporate, partnership or estate work who can explain a ruling in plain language. Big 4 alumni, CPAs, EAs and holders of a master's in taxation fit well. Candidates with QuickBooks experience and an interest in tax technology stand out.
Salary Insight
The posted rate is $113.00 per hour, well above what staff-level tax accounting roles usually pay and in line with the premium applied to specialized subject-matter work for AI training. Treat the rate as tied to demonstrated depth in tax compliance.
