Accounting Expert
About this role
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.
