Role Overview
-
Mercor is seeking senior accounting professionals to build evaluation tasks for AI systems operating in financial reporting, audit, and technical accounting contexts.
-
The workflows are calibrated to the reporting complexity, materiality stakes, and scope of major public company and enterprise accounting functions.
-
This role builds worlds on two tracks: a US track (US GAAP, PCAOB standards) and an International track (IFRS, International Standards on Auditing). Experts qualified in either or both tracks are encouraged to apply.
-
Contributors design accounting scenarios, draft reference outputs, and write rubrics that capture how senior accountants and auditors think.
Key Responsibilities
-
Construct accounting scenarios spanning financial statement preparation, technical accounting research, external and internal audit processes, and complex transaction accounting (M&A, revenue recognition, leases).
-
Build tasks across financial reporting, technical accounting and research, audit and assurance, complex transaction accounting, and internal controls/SOX compliance.
-
Develop scenarios involving tools such as ERP systems (SAP, Oracle), consolidation software, audit management platforms, and research tools (Bloomberg Tax, RIA Checkpoint) used at major firms.
-
Apply accounting methodologies (revenue recognition, lease accounting, consolidation) to the standards track a world targets (US: US GAAP/ASC codification, PCAOB standards; International: IFRS, ISA), and produce reference financial statements, technical accounting memos, audit workpapers, and internal control assessments.
-
Author rubrics that distinguish authentic accounting judgment from generic textbook or CPA exam-level recall.
Ideal Qualifications
-
5+ years working as an accountant, controller, or audit partner at a major accounting firm or corporation (Big Four, or a corporate controller/CFO).
-
Direct ownership of financial reporting, audit engagements, or technical accounting matters.
-
Fluency in accounting tooling, plus understanding of regulatory reporting (SEC filings) and audit standards.
-
A recognized professional credential is strongly preferred (CPA, or an international equivalent such as ACCA or CA); prior rubric or training authorship is a plus.
We consider all qualified applicants without regard to legally protected characteristics and provide reasonable accommodations upon request.
Contract and Payment Terms
- You will be engaged as an independent contractor.
- This is a fully remote role that can be completed on your own schedule.
- Projects can be extended, shortened, or concluded early depending on needs and performance.
- Your work at Mercor will not involve access to confidential or proprietary information from any employer, client, or institution.
- Payments are weekly on Stripe or Wise based on services rendered.
- Please note: We are unable to support H1-B or STEM OPT candidates at this time.
