U.S.-Based Accountant (CPA/CA)

Role Overview

Apply your U.S. tax expertise to help evaluate and improve next-generation AI systems. You will translate sales and use tax law into precise, testable criteria, then assess whether formal AI interpretations accurately reflect statutory requirements across state jurisdictions and, at times, federal provisions. Prior AI experience is not required.

Key Responsibilities

• Interpret U.S. sales and use tax statutes and regulations, including individual subsections, across multiple state jurisdictions and occasional federal tax provisions.
• Create statute-based scoring rubrics that break legal text into discrete requirements an AI interpretation must satisfy.
• Assign critical, secondary, or minor severity levels based on the actual statutory significance of each requirement.
• Review formal AI translations of statutes and score them pass or fail against established rubrics.
• Verify accurate handling of conditions, thresholds, AND/OR logic, exceptions, and defined terms.
• Write self-contained test scenarios for failed criteria, including edge cases, explicit facts, dates, amounts, and expected outcomes.
• Flag discrepancies, statutory exceptions, and genuine legal ambiguities.
• Submit structured written evaluations through a digital review platform.

Qualifications

• Active CPA license, Chartered Accountant designation, or experience as a U.S. tax attorney.
• Demonstrated ability to interpret tax statutes and regulations, beyond tax return preparation.
• Sales and use tax experience, or broader state and local tax statutory experience, is strongly preferred.
• Comfort analyzing legal logic, including conditions, thresholds, AND/OR structures, exceptions, and defined terms.
• Precise written communication skills, with criteria clear enough for another reviewer to reach the same conclusion.
• Exceptional attention to detail, particularly for exception clauses and edge cases.
• Ability to provide structured feedback in a digital review environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working across multiple state tax jurisdictions.
• Enrolled Agent designation or relevant federal tax experience for scenario review.
• Experience reviewing or validating AI or technology-driven tax content.
• Experience training teams or providing written feedback on legal or tax language.
• Interest in technology and tax compliance.

Work Terms

• Remote contract engagement.

Compensation

• $65 to $70 per hour.
