Why AI Training Matters (Short)

AI training is the human side of building artificial intelligence: people prepare, correct, and structure examples that models learn from. This project focuses on financial documents, where human judgment about numbers, tables, and accounting terminology is crucial for model quality.

The Role

You will review accounting and finance PDFs to ensure extracted structure, labels, and transcriptions are accurate, complete, and meaningful for downstream use. Work focuses on financial documents such as invoices, receipts, bank statements, financial statements, tax/audit materials, payment records, and business reports.

This is a part-time contractor role with 20+ hours per week. The task uses a tool with OCR preannotation and bounding boxes; you will verify, correct, and complete that output.

• Data type: document annotation (bounding boxes, classification, transcription).
• Labeling focus: document regions, tables, key-value fields, and reading order.
• Employment: Contractor, part-time.

What You'll Do

• Review finance and accounting documents and verify that extracted structure matches financial meaning.
• Identify and correct OCR errors in numbers, dates, currency amounts, account names, table values, totals, and financial terminology.
• Assign document-region labels (text, section headers, titles, page headers/footers, tables, key-value fields, captions, footnotes, handwritten text, signatures, unreadable content).
• Check labels and transcriptions for contextual correctness, not only visual alignment.
• Review or create clean HTML table output preserving rows, columns, headers, totals, and financial semantics.
• Produce accurate JSON key-value pairs for invoice numbers, dates, vendor/customer names, totals, balances, payment terms, tax amounts, and account references.
• Organize reading order and parent/child or previous-instance relationships so documents can be reconstructed.
• Complete a final quality check before submission, focusing on financial accuracy and internal consistency.

Requirements

• Resume should show accounting, finance, bookkeeping, audit, tax, accounts payable/receivable, reconciliation, invoice processing, financial reporting, banking, or similar experience.
• Comfortable reading financial documents and spotting mistakes in amounts, dates, tables, totals, labels, and terminology.
• Able to follow detailed annotation guidelines and maintain high accuracy.
• Comfortable working with structured table output and key-value data; HTML table or JSON experience is helpful but not strictly required.
• Professional working English proficiency required.

Who Should Apply

We are prioritizing applicants with accounting or finance experience. General data annotation experience alone is not sufficient for this role—your resume should demonstrate domain knowledge in bookkeeping, audits, AP/AR, tax, reconciliation, or financial reporting.
