About This Opportunity
About the role
We're assembling a very small group of experienced controllers to set the quality bar for AI-completed accounting work. The final graders and standard-setters, the same role a controller plays for their own accounting team, applied to AI-completed work.
Typical work
- Define what "done correctly" means: quality standards and rubric templates grounded in GAAP and internal-control practice, applied to tasks built from a real company's ledger
- Review and approve the scenarios and grading rules written by staff and senior accountants; adjudicate disagreements and edge cases, yours is the final call
- Spot-check AI-completed work against the rubrics and make the judgment that anchors the whole study: would this survive a controller's review?
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
- 8+ years in accounting incl. real ownership of month-end close; controller or assistant-controller experience; CPA strongly preferred.
- Experience running or reviewing books across multiple entities or clients
- Have managed and reviewed other accountants' work: comfortable making final quality calls and putting the reasoning in writing
- Practical GAAP and internal-control fluency applied to small-company books
- Comfortable assessing messy, system-synced ledgers (QuickBooks/NetSuite/Sage integrations, duplicates, migration artifacts)
- Exceptionally crisp written standards: you can turn professional judgment into pass/fail rules that different graders apply the same way
