About the Company

This hourly, remote contractor role is with SME Careers, a fast-growing AI Data Services company and subsidiary of SuperAnnotate, delivering training data for many of the world’s largest AI companies and foundation-model labs.

• Review AI-generated tax and audit responses for accuracy, clarity, completeness, and adherence to the prompt.
• Create expert accounting content, including detailed prompts, gold-standard outputs, model solutions, workpaper examples, audit programs, control assessments, and technical explanations.
• Evaluate reasoning quality and step-by-step problem-solving; identify errors in tax treatment, compliance logic, audit methodology, risk assessment, internal controls, and financial reporting linkages.
• Fact-check technical claims and validate reliability across business scenarios.
• Rate and compare multiple responses based on correctness and reasoning quality to optimize AI performance.
• Test AI outputs for inaccuracies, unsafe or noncompliant guidance, and bias; recommend improvements to ensure model integrity and practical usefulness.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Accounting, Finance, Taxation, or a related field; CPA/ACCA/EA/CIA (or local equivalent) is a strong plus.
• 5+ years of professional experience in tax and/or audit (public accounting, advisory, internal audit, or industry).
• Strong command of tax fundamentals relevant to your jurisdiction(s): corporate/individual basics, taxable income adjustments, credits/deductions, nexus/permanent establishment awareness, withholding/VAT/GST concepts (as applicable).
• Strong command of audit fundamentals: planning, materiality, risk assessment, control testing, substantive procedures, sampling concepts, and audit evidence quality.
• Proven ability to review or prepare workpapers, reconciliations, and documentation that is clear, defensible, and audit-ready.
• Solid understanding of internal controls (segregation of duties, approvals, access controls); familiarity with SOX concepts is a plus.
• Exceptional attention to detail when fact-checking and identifying unsupported conclusions, missing steps, incorrect citations, or noncompliant recommendations; minimum C1 English proficiency.
• Comfortable evaluating answers for internal consistency (debits/credits, timing/cutoff, tax logic, and financial statement impacts).
• Reliable, self-directed, and able to deliver consistent quality in an hourly, remote contractor workflow across time zones.
• Prior experience with AI data training/annotation, audit QA, tax technical writing, or policy interpretation is strongly preferred.
