Accounting Experts

Accountants: help train the models that help you close the books with confidence.

Accountants, auditors and tax professionals — reporting, tax, audit, or the close. Use your experience to train the latest AI models on work that has to survive review. A CPA or international equivalent is highly preferred; no graduate degree required. Join CrowdGen’s network of accounting experts, and we’ll bring you in when there’s work worth your time.

Who we’re looking for.

A vetted network of practicing accountants.

✓5+ years in accounting, audit, or tax — In practice or in-house, with real ownership of a set of books, an engagement, or a filing position.
✓A professional license, highly preferred — A CPA or international equivalent such as CA, ACCA, CIA, CMA or EA. Preferred, not required: what you have signed off on counts for more than the letters.
✓Judgment, not just accuracy — Materiality and professional skepticism: knowing what to raise, and knowing what a reviewer would pass.
✓Clear written English — A lot of this work is explaining why a treatment is right, not just landing on it.
✓Bonus skills — Fluency in more than one reporting standard set, and knowing where the differences change the accounting rather than the presentation; real depth in a named specialty such as technical accounting research, business combinations, equity compensation, cross-border or sub-national tax, or forensic and fraud examination; or fluency in the systems the numbers come out of — enterprise resource planning, consolidation, audit management and tax research platforms.

To join: A LinkedIn profile and a resume showing your education and experience are required to qualify.

What you’d actually do.

The work any experienced accountant would recognize.

01
Build the cases that expose bad judgment in both directions
The misstatement the model should have caught, and the immaterial difference, passed adjustment, or omitted disclosure it over-flags. A model that flags everything is as useless as one that flags nothing.
02
Write the treatment a reviewer wouldn’t send back
Produce the memo, the entry, or the filing position with the authority cited and the work shown.
03
Develop comprehensive rubrics to ensure accuracy
Establish the standard actually satisfied, require materiality set rather than guessed, and demand evidence clearly stated — so output is scored against what a reviewing partner would accept.
04
Review the way a reviewer would
Reconciliations that don’t tie, accruals landing in the wrong period, a management assertion treated as evidence: the errors in work that already looks finished.
