Expert Contributor - Certified Public Accountant (CPA)
Task-Based Independent Contractor Opportunity
Overview
We're looking for CPA-credentialed accounting and finance experts who can design and solve challenging, real-world reasoning tasks that test the limits of advanced AI systems. You'll create high-quality accounting, auditing, tax, and financial analysis problems, develop rigorous solutions, and help identify exactly where models fall short in financial reasoning. The focus is on professional practice-level difficulty, regulatory precision, and reproducible evaluation.
If you've got a knack for building tricky multi-step financial scenarios and can spot where the numbers don't add up, this is your kind of opportunity.
Key Responsibilities
Design complex, multi-step accounting, auditing, and tax reasoning problems with precise, fully worked solutions. Evaluate AI-generated financial reasoning and identify where models produce incorrect calculations, misapply standards, or reach flawed conclusions. Create scenarios spanning financial reporting (US GAAP/IFRS), tax compliance and planning, audit procedures, managerial accounting, and forensic accounting.
Develop reproducible evaluation criteria and grading rubrics for each financial problem. Review and critique competing solution approaches across multi-turn evaluation sessions. Collaborate asynchronously with the project team on problem calibration, regulatory accuracy, and quality standards.
Required Qualifications
Active CPA license in good standing. 3+ years of professional experience in public accounting, corporate finance, tax advisory, or audit. Deep fluency in US GAAP, IFRS, and/or federal/state tax code, with the ability to create multi-step analytical problems and produce precise, fully worked solutions. Strong review instincts with the ability to identify subtle financial errors, misapplied accounting standards, and evaluate competing approaches.
Proficiency with accounting software and tools (e.g., Quick Books, SAP, Oracle, or similar ERP systems).
Preferred Qualifications
Master's degree in Accounting, Finance, Taxation, or a related discipline.
Background in one or more of: Big 4 or mid-tier public accounting, corporate controllership, tax planning and compliance, internal audit, or forensic accounting.
Experience with CPA exam preparation content development or university-level accounting instruction. Familiarity with data analytics tools used in modern accounting (e.g., Alteryx, Tableau, Power BI, or ACL).
Experience evaluating AI-generated financial reasoning or working with AI-assisted accounting tools. Additional certifications such as CMA, CIA, CFE, or CGMA are a plus. .
