Accounting Expert
FinanceRemote (US preferred, open worldwide)Hourly contractPosted Nov 14
Role Overview
- Mercor is hiring experienced accountants and auditors to build and review evaluation tasks for AI agents.
- Each task is set in a realistic simulated company, with the ledgers, workpapers, policies, emails and business apps an accounting team really uses.
- You make sure each task reads like a real request, the reference answer holds up against the source records, and the grading rubric checks what a senior accountant would check.
Key Responsibilities
- Refine AI-drafted task prompts so they read like a real request from a controller, CFO or audit lead, without giving the answer away.
- Check the reference answer against the world's files and app records, and correct what is wrong.
- Write and tighten grading rubrics: pass/fail criteria with exact values, plus the judgment calls a generalist would miss.
- Read how leading AI models attempt each task and confirm they fail for fair, defensible reasons.
- Work across financial reporting and technical accounting (revenue recognition, leases, consolidation, business combinations, SEC reporting), month-end and year-end close, internal controls and SOX, tax provisions, audit fieldwork, and industry areas such as fund, nonprofit, construction and SaaS accounting.
Details
- Pay: $95/hour.
- You start with a short onboarding session and a paid skills assessment. Once you pass, you can claim your first task right away.
- Strong performers can move into reviewer and world lead roles.
