Pay: up to $40 – $125+ /hour (depends on task difficulty and specialization)

Location: Remote · Type: Independent contractor · Hours: Flexible hours · Payouts: Weekly

Overview

A model will design an audit approach that reads well and would never survive review: a sample that tests the wrong assertion, a control it calls effective without evidence, a materiality call set where it is convenient. Sign-off on that is how findings get missed, and a public accountant like you is who prevents it.

As a Public Accountant you'll evaluate AI on audit, assurance, and public accounting standards, check the work against the current framework, and write the answer a careful CPA would stand behind.

What you’ll actually do

• Draft prompts that probe audit procedures, assertions, sampling, and materiality across engagements.
• Review AI output for weak evidence, wrong assertions, misapplied standards, and unsupported conclusions, and rate the reasoning.
• Write the correct approach when the model falls short, tied back to the standards.
