Role Overview

Mercor is collaborating with a leading AI lab to engage experienced accounting professionals across all areas of practice — including audit, tax, financial reporting, bookkeeping, controllership, forensic, and accounting systems. Contributors help build AI systems that reason about real accounting work by translating everyday accounting workflows, judgments, and decision-making into structured, high-quality training data.

Key Responsibilities

• Design realistic accounting scenarios and tasks drawn from your day-to-day work (e.g., financial statement preparation, reconciliations, journal entries, audit procedures, tax filings, month-end close, internal controls)

• Review and compare AI-generated accounting outputs for accuracy, standards compliance (GAAP/IFRS), and sound professional judgment

• Create structured examples that reflect how accountants actually reason through problems

• Provide clear written feedback that improves how AI performs accounting tasks

• Collaborate asynchronously with the research team

Ideal Qualifications

• CPA, CA, ACCA, CMA, EA, or an equivalent professional credential required

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field

• Comfortable with common accounting tools (e.g., QuickBooks, NetSuite, SAP, Oracle, Excel)

• Strong written communication and attention to detail

More About the Opportunity

• Open to all accounting specialties — contribute where your expertise is strongest

• Work spans task design, evaluation, and structured feedback on AI accounting outputs

• Strong contributors advance into reviewer, lead, and domain-expert roles
