Corporate Accountant

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

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

Overview

Ask a model to close the books and it produces entries that foot perfectly and still misstate the result: a lease booked the old way, revenue recognized a quarter early, an intercompany elimination that never happened. The financials look clean and are quietly wrong, and a corporate accountant like you is who catches it.

As a Corporate Accountant you'll evaluate AI on the general ledger, consolidations, and financial close, check the treatment against current standards, and write the answer a careful accountant would put their name on.

What you’ll actually do

• Draft prompts that probe GAAP treatment, consolidations, accruals, and month-end close.
• Review AI output for wrong recognition, missed eliminations, misapplied standards, and entries that do not tie, and rate the reasoning.
• Write the correct treatment when the model falls short, with the working shown clearly.
