About this role
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
- 3+ years of professional experience in accounting, audit, tax, bookkeeping, or finance operations (public accounting, corporate/in-house, advisory, or a firm)
- 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
Application Process
- Submit a resume or a short summary of your accounting experience
- Complete a short form on your practice area, specialties, and certifications
- Selected applicants may complete a brief sample task
- Follow-up typically provided within a few days
