Remote | Accounting Expert (AI Research Intake) — $70–$110/hour

We are sharing a specialised part-time consulting opportunity for experienced accounting professionals to contribute practical expertise that will help shape upcoming AI research engagements across audit, financial reporting, tax, GAAP/IFRS analysis, and related accounting workstreams.

This initial research intake is designed to capture how accounting professionals actually work in practice — including day-to-day workflows, tools, decision points, specialist areas, and the less visible aspects of the profession that are often missed in conventional descriptions. Insights from the intake will help inform the structure and scope of future accounting-focused projects.
