About the Opportunity
Mercor is collaborating with a leading AI lab to engage experienced Corporate and Controllership Accountants to help develop high-quality training data for AI systems.

- Evaluate AI outputs for sound professional accounting judgment.
- Provide clear, actionable written feedback to improve AI performance on accounting and reporting tasks.
- Collaborate asynchronously with the research team throughout the project.
