Accounting / Bookkeeping Expert (QuickBooks)
- $100 - $150 per hour
- $8,000 - $12,000 for 80 hours
- Remote, any location
We're looking for accountants and bookkeepers to spend two weeks stress-testing AI models against the work you actually do. You'll write realistic task scenarios, run them at the model, and build the rubrics other reviewers grade against.
About the role
This is a two-week pilot campaign built around AI model evaluation, task design and grading frameworks.
The point is to benchmark next-generation models by giving them complex, realistic, domain-specific work. You'll design tasks that need multi-step research, data extraction and real professional judgment, then set the criteria for scoring them.
Full-time for the duration of the contract.
What you'll do
- Complex prompt creation
- Write detailed scenario prompts rooted in real accounting workflows: reconciliation and month-end close, AR and AP management, payroll, BAS and tax preparation, financial statement review, chart-of-accounts restructuring, and multi-entity reporting in QuickBooks.
- AI model testing
- Run your prompts in the platform to surface failure modes, hallucination triggers and reasoning gaps. Escalate the complexity as you go.
- Rubric and checklist authoring
- Write objective, self-contained scoring checklists backed by explicit reference sources, so peer reviewers grade the same output the same way.
Requirements
- Domain expertise
- 5+ years professional accounting or bookkeeping experience.
- Platform expertise
- 3 to 4 years hands-on in QuickBooks.
- AI training experience
- Hands-on experience writing complex prompts, evaluating LLM output and building evaluation rubrics.
- Language
- Professional English, written and spoken.
- Availability
- Full-time across the full two weeks.
- Device security
- Work happens on a secure personal or corporate device. Public or shared computers aren't permitted.
Nice to have
Not required. Worth mentioning if it applies to you.
- Experience across more than one accounting platform, not just QuickBooks.
- Practice or firm experience covering several client entities at once.
- A CPA, CA or equivalent qualification.
- You've written training material, SOPs or review checklists for other accountants.
Why take it
- Your judgment sets the bar. The rubrics you write are what everyone else grades against.
- You'll see where frontier models actually break on work you know cold.
- Two weeks, remote, with the fee agreed before you start.
Contract and payment
- You're engaged as an independent contractor for the length of the campaign.
- Fully remote, from any location, working in English.
- The fee is agreed before you start. We pay you directly, not through an agency.
- You won't use your employer's or your clients' data. The tasks are scenarios you author. Don't bring confidential information to this work.
- Campaigns can be extended, shortened or ended early depending on need and performance.
