Accounting Expert — AI Grading & Evaluation | Remote
Descrição da Oferta
Job Title: Accounting Expert
Type: Independent Contractor
Compensation: Confirmed in offer, paid weekly via Stripe or Wise
Location: Remote
Commitment: Flexible, own schedule
Role Overview
Mercor is partnering with a leading AI research organization to engage experienced accountants for a project focused on evaluating how well AI systems perform real-world accounting work. Rather than producing deliverables yourself, you will define what excellent work looks like: designing task-specific grading criteria and scoring completed work samples with rigorous, well-reasoned written justifications.
Key Responsibilities
Design precise, task-specific grading criteria for real-world accounting deliverables (reconciliations, close packages, financial statements and disclosures, workpapers, technical accounting memos)
Score AI-generated and human work samples against those criteria, with detailed written justifications for every score
Apply consistent, evidence-based judgment so that scores are reproducible and defensible
Incorporate structured feedback from senior reviewers and iterate quickly on your work
Ideal Qualifications
5+ years of professional accounting experience
Background in audit, assurance, or advisory at leading global accounting firms, or in senior accounting roles at large public companies
CPA or equivalent professional certification strongly preferred
Deep fluency in the day-to-day craft: US GAAP application, month-end close, account reconciliations, financial statement preparation and disclosures, and audit-ready workpapers
Exceptionally strong written communication, with the ability to explain exactly why a piece of work does or does not meet professional standards
Detail-oriented, consistent, and comfortable having your judgment reviewed and calibrated against peers
Prior experience with AI training, evaluation, or human-data projects is a strong plus
Application Process
Submit your resume or relevant professional background to get started
Qualified applicants may be asked to complete a brief technical assessment or submit additional information
Restrictions
We are unable to support H1-B or STEM OPT candidates at this time.
Contract and Payment Terms
You will be engaged as an independent contractor.
This is a fully remote role that can be completed on your own schedule.
Projects can be extended, shortened, or concluded early depending on needs and performance.
Your work at Mercor will not involve access to confidential or proprietary information from any employer, client, or institution.
Payments are weekly on Stripe or Wise based on services rendered.
