Job Title: Remote Finance & Accounting Expert, AI Trainer

Date Posted: Oct. 14, 2026

Employment Type: Contract, 12-week, 10+ hrs/week

Location: US Remote (Telecommute)

Applicants must be located in the United States

Hourly Rate:  $40 to $125 per hour (USD/1099)

Job Description:  
Remote Accounting, Tax, and Finance subject matter experts needed to train AI for a 12-week project; a minimum of 10 hours per week required. Backgrounds in public accounting, corporate finance and/or tax, advisory, M&A, or similar backgrounds are all great for this role. 

Our client is seeking accounting, tax, and finance professionals for a 12-week AI training sprint. Contributors act as subject matter experts to evaluate, annotate, and improve AI-generated responses on accounting, tax, and financial reporting topics, and design realistic professional tasks (scenarios, supporting files, grading rubrics) used to train and test AI systems. This is not a traditional accounting role — no client work, no month-end close, no deadlines — but a structured, flexible engagement putting accounting knowledge toward AI development.

Responsibilities

• Review and evaluate AI-generated accounting responses for accuracy, clarity, and professional appropriateness
• Annotate and rank model outputs to guide AI training
• Write expert-level answers to accounting questions as training examples
• Flag errors, misconceptions, or ambiguous outputs and provide corrective guidance
• Design and build realistic task scenarios from professional experience, including prompts, supporting files, and grading rubrics
• Run tasks against AI models and iterate based on expert reviewer feedback
• Follow detailed written instructions precisely (formatting, upload requirements, etc.)
• Maintain consistent quality and throughput for the full sprint

Qualifications

• Available for a minimum of 10 hours/week for the full 12-week engagement
• 7+ years accounting or tax experience (public accounting, corporate finance or tax, advisory, M&A, or similar)
• CPA or EA preferred but not required
• Strong written communication skills
• Comfortable working independently in a remote, self-directed setting
• Careful reader of instructions; receptive to feedback and revisions
• Baseline tech literacy (cloud tools, browser profiles, desktop app installs, file conversion/zipping)
• Based in the United States
• General understanding of LLMs/AI landscape

Compensation & Terms

• Paid on a regular cadence; contract position
• Fully remote (work from anywhere in the US)
• Paid skills assessment required (3–4 hours)
• No obligation to continue after the sprint; flexible project-based work often available afterward
