About AI Training Work

AI training is the human side of building modern artificial intelligence. Experts review examples, assess model responses, write reference answers, and provide feedback so AI systems learn to reason and perform more accurately.

In this project, your accounting expertise will help evaluate financial reasoning and system behavior. Your real-world knowledge can shape how next-generation models handle accounting operations, financial systems, and reporting tasks.

• No general AI background is required
• Domain expertise is central to the work
• Work includes evaluation, rating, question answering, and RLHF activities
• Work is completed remotely with a computer and reliable internet connection

The Financial Systems Accounting Expert Role

OpenTrain is engaging Financial Systems and Accounting Experts for a project focused on accounting operations and enterprise financial systems. You will apply accounting judgment and hands-on systems knowledge to AI-generated work covering processes from transaction capture through month-end close and financial reporting.

Accounting proficiency is the primary focus, but prior paid experience supporting human data activities for AI models is a firm requirement. Using AI-enabled features in accounting software alone does not satisfy this requirement.

• Role type: Contractor
• Work arrangement: Remote
• Experience level listed for the project: Entry level
• Subject matter focus: Financial accounting and enterprise systems
• Primary language: English

What You'll Do

You will evaluate and improve AI-generated accounting content using established standards, written rubrics, and practical financial systems knowledge. The work requires careful analysis, consistent judgment, and clear written explanations.

• Evaluate AI-generated accounting treatments, calculations, journal entries, and explanations for technical accuracy.
• Review and annotate financial statements, reconciliations, and close workpapers, identifying misstatements and explaining correct treatments.
• Assess accounting workflows and financial systems logic across NetSuite, SAP, Oracle, QuickBooks, Xero, and Dynamics 365.
• Apply written grading guidelines consistently when rating or ranking model output, and flag ambiguous cases when needed.
• Contribute realistic accounting scenarios and reference answers based on modern financial systems practices.
• Provide clear, actionable written feedback to project and model teams to support system improvement.

Required Qualifications

The project requires strong financial accounting and enterprise systems subject matter expertise, along with previous paid experience performing human data work for AI training. Candidates should be comfortable applying accounting standards and communicating their reasoning in written and spoken English.

• At least 3 years of hands-on experience in financial accounting, month-end close, corporate accounting, audit, bookkeeping, financial reporting, management or cost accounting, or FP&A with substantive accounting work.
• Experience preparing or reviewing journal entries, reconciliations, or financial statements.
• Hands-on experience with financial systems such as NetSuite, SAP, Oracle, QuickBooks, Xero, Sage Intacct, Dynamics 365, Workday, or comparable platforms.
• Strong proficiency in Microsoft Excel environments.
• Prior paid experience in AI-training data work, including annotation, labeling, RLHF, AI response evaluation, model evaluation, or rubric-based grading.
• Experience with RLHF tasks.
• Strong written and verbal English communication skills at B2 level or above; fluent English is required.
• Reliable internet connection and immediate availability.
