Mercor is partnering with a leading AI research organization to engage experienced accountants for a project focused on evaluating how well AI systems perform real-world accounting work. Rather than producing deliverables yourself, you will define what excellent work looks like: designing task-specific grading criteria and scoring completed work samples with rigorous, well-reasoned written justifications.
2. Key Responsibilities
- Design precise, task-specific grading criteria for real-world accounting deliverables (reconciliations, close packages, financial statements and disclosures, workpapers, technical accounting memos)
- Score AI-generated and human work samples against those criteria, with detailed written justifications for every score
- Apply consistent, evidence-based judgment so that scores are reproducible and defensible
- Incorporate structured feedback from senior reviewers and iterate quickly on your work
3. Ideal Qualifications
- 5+ years of professional accounting experience
- Background in audit, assurance, or advisory at leading global accounting firms, or in senior accounting roles at large public companies
- CPA or equivalent professional certification strongly preferred
- Deep fluency in the day-to-day craft: US GAAP application, month-end close, account reconciliations, financial statement preparation and disclosures, and audit-ready workpapers
- Exceptionally strong written communication, with the ability to explain exactly why a piece of work does or does not meet professional standards
- Detail-oriented, consistent, and comfortable having your judgment reviewed and calibrated against peers
- Prior experience with AI training, evaluation, or human-data projects is a robust plus
