About Financial Reporting AI Evaluation

AI training is the human side of building modern artificial intelligence. Expert contributors create examples, review model outputs, and develop evaluation standards so AI systems can produce more accurate and useful results.

In this role, your accounting judgment will help distinguish authentic professional reasoning from generic textbook knowledge or CPA exam-level recall. Your work will cover both US GAAP and PCAOB standards and IFRS and ISA standards.

The Role

OpenTrain AI is seeking senior accounting professionals to build evaluation tasks for AI systems in financial reporting, audit, and technical accounting. You will design realistic accounting scenarios, prepare reference outputs, and write rubrics that capture how senior accountants and auditors approach complex decisions.

The engagement is a remote, part-time contractor opportunity requiring 20 or more hours per week. The listed rate is $70 to $80 per hour.

• Work remotely from anywhere in the world
• Commit to 20+ hours per week
• Earn $70 to $80 per hour
• Contribute as a part-time contractor
• Work primarily in English

What You'll Do

You will create detailed, professionally grounded tasks spanning financial reporting, technical accounting research, audit and assurance, complex transaction accounting, and internal controls and SOX compliance. Your deliverables should reflect the judgment expected from experienced accounting and audit professionals.

• Construct scenarios for financial statement preparation and technical accounting research.
• Develop tasks involving external and internal audit processes and audit and assurance work.
• Create complex transaction accounting scenarios involving M&A, revenue recognition, and leases.

• Apply revenue recognition, lease accounting, and consolidation methodologies to the appropriate standards track.
• Produce reference financial statements, technical accounting memos, audit workpapers, and internal control assessments.
• Author rubrics that distinguish authentic accounting judgment from generic or exam-level responses.
