Hiring companyAlignerr
About the role
What if your hands-on accounting experience could directly shape how AI handles real enterprise finance work?
As a Task Author, you will create realistic, numerically rigorous accounting scenarios — billing versus revenue reconciliation, payment-to-invoice matching, margin report analysis — that genuinely challenge a capable AI agent while remaining objectively scorable.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No AI background needed — just deep accounting expertise and strong numerical reasoning.
Why Join Us
- Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading research labs.
- Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you.
- Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, task-based work.
- Contribute to AI development that directly shapes how technology handles enterprise finance.
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch.
Responsibilities
- Author realistic task prompts centered on accounting reconciliation: matching payments to invoices, reconciling billing against recognized revenue, and analyzing margin reports.
- Write scoring rubrics that specify exact numerical outcomes and the reasoning steps required to reach them.
- Set up task environments with the financial data, documents, and system states needed to replicate a realistic accounting scenario.
- Solve each task yourself to validate that the numbers work and the rubric is correct.
- Calibrate task difficulty — adjust data complexity, ambiguity in source documents, or required reasoning steps until the task reliably challenges the model to the intended degree.
- Review and correct AI-drafted task prompts or rubrics when provided.
Required skills
- Strong, precise numerical reasoning and demonstrated ability to work through multi-step reconciliation problems.
- Solid knowledge of revenue recognition principles, matching rules, and standard accounting workflows.
- Ability to define verifiable correctness criteria — exact figures, reconciled balances, or documented variance explanations.
- Comfortable working with financial documents, spreadsheets, and accounting system outputs.
- Iterative mindset: willing to test and refine tasks until difficulty and gradability are both right.
Preferred skills
- Experience in manufacturing, industrial, or enterprise B2B finance environments.
- Familiarity with ERP or accounting platforms (e.g., NetSuite, SAP, QuickBooks Enterprise).
- Background in audit, financial controls, or revenue assurance.
Experience and education
- Hands-on experience as an accountant, finance analyst, or in a closely related role.
