Remote | US GAAP Accounting & Financial Reporting Expert — Up to $75/hour

We are sharing a specialised part-time consulting opportunity for experienced accounting professionals with strong US GAAP knowledge across financial reporting, audit, controllership, technical accounting, FP&A, or tax.

This role supports an AI evaluation project focused on realistic accounting workflows. Selected professionals will review AI-generated accounting work, determine whether conclusions are technically correct and properly supported, verify that required accounting actions were actually completed, and identify unsupported figures, incomplete work, or misapplied standards.

Key Responsibilities

Financial Reporting & Period-End Close

• Review accounting work involving US GAAP financial statements and period-end reporting
• Evaluate reconciliations, substantive analytics, and tie-outs to supporting documentation
• Assess subledger-to-general-ledger reconciliations and related close procedures
• Interpret whether accounting periods are open, locked, or reopened
• Determine whether financial reporting tasks have been completed accurately and consistently

Accounting Judgement & Error Evaluation

• Apply professional judgement when assessing accounting errors and misstatements
• Evaluate materiality and determine whether identified issues require adjustment or escalation
• Review adjusting journal entries and related accounting effects
• Assess interconnected impacts such as deferred-tax consequences
• Distinguish entries actually posted to the ledger from drafts, unposted batches, or working-paper adjustments

US GAAP Technical Accounting

• Evaluate accounting treatments under key US GAAP standards
• Review revenue recognition under ASC 606
• Assess lease accounting under ASC 842
• Review impairment matters under ASC 350 and ASC 360
• Evaluate income-tax accounting, credit losses under ASC 326, and business combinations under ASC 805
• Assess reserves, allowances, and other significant accounting estimates

Documentation & Evidence Review

• Evaluate workpapers and accounting memoranda for completeness and professional quality
• Review cross-referencing, sign-off, and documentation standards
• Verify that figures, conclusions, citations, and procedures are supported by actual evidence
• Identify unsupported assertions, fabricated support, or procedures claimed but not performed
• Determine whether deliverables are sufficiently complete and review-ready

AI Accounting Evaluation

• Review AI-generated attempts at realistic accounting tasks
• Determine whether each conclusion is correct, complete, and adequately supported
• Confirm that required actions were actually completed and recorded rather than merely described
• Identify invented figures, unsupported assumptions, and overstated work
• Assess whether the correct accounting method was applied to the relevant problem
• Apply a verify-before-finalise standard when reviewing outputs

Written Evaluation & Quality Assurance

• Provide clear and specific agree/disagree rationales for each reviewed attempt
• Explain technical errors and incomplete reasoning precisely
• Distinguish minor presentation issues from material accounting deficiencies
• Apply evaluation standards consistently across assignments
• Produce feedback suitable for improving AI performance on professional accounting tasks

Ideal Profile

• 3+ years of professional accounting experience in external audit, controllership, technical accounting, FP&A, tax, or a related discipline
• Current or recent hands-on experience applying US GAAP
• Strong professional judgement across financial reporting, accounting estimates, close processes, and technical accounting
• Ability to identify unsupported numbers, incomplete deliverables, and misapplied accounting standards
• CPA, actively pursuing CPA qualification, Big Four / accounting-firm experience, industry accounting experience, or equivalent professional background
• Strong ability to read financial statements, supporting schedules, reconciliations, and accounting workpapers
• Comfortable working with professional accounting software and financial systems
• Familiarity with tools such as CaseWare, NetSuite, Power BI, or comparable audit, ERP, and reporting platforms
• Strong written English and ability to explain accounting conclusions clearly and precisely
