Finance & Accounting Task Author (AI Training)

$60-120/hrRemoteFreelanceOTHER

About the Role

What if your hands-on accounting experience could directly shape how AI handles real enterprise finance work? Alignerr is building a dataset of expert tasks that train and evaluate advanced AI agents on accounting reconciliation — and we're looking for experienced Canadian finance professionals to help design them.

As a Task Author, you will create realistic, numerically rigorous accounting scenarios — billing versus revenue reconciliation, payment-to-invoice matching, margin report analysis — that genuinely challenge capable AI agents while remaining objectively scorable.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role open to accountants, finance analysts, and related professionals across Canada. No AI background needed.

  • Organization: Alignerr
  • Type: Hourly Contract
  • Location: Remote
  • Commitment: Flexible, task-based

Key Responsibilities

  • Author realistic task prompts centered on accounting reconciliation: matching payments to invoices, reconciling billing against recognized revenue, and analyzing margin reports
  • Write scoring rubrics that specify exact numerical outcomes and the reasoning steps required to reach them
  • Set up task environments with the financial data, documents, and system states needed to replicate a realistic accounting scenario
  • Solve each task yourself to validate that the numbers work and the rubric is correct
  • Calibrate task difficulty — adjust data complexity, ambiguity in source documents, or required reasoning steps until the task reliably challenges the model to the intended degree
  • Review and correct AI-drafted task prompts or rubrics when provided

Qualifications

  • Hands-on experience as an accountant, finance analyst, or in a closely related role
  • Strong, precise numerical reasoning and demonstrated ability to work through multi-step reconciliation problems
  • Solid knowledge of revenue recognition principles, matching rules, and standard accounting workflows
  • Ability to define verifiable correctness criteria — exact figures, reconciled balances, or documented variance explanations
  • Comfortable working with financial documents, spreadsheets, and accounting system outputs
  • Iterative mindset: willing to test and refine tasks until difficulty and gradability are both right

Nice to Have

  • Experience in manufacturing, industrial, or enterprise B2B finance environments
  • Familiarity with ERP or accounting platforms (e.g., NetSuite, SAP, QuickBooks Enterprise)
  • CPA Canada designation or equivalent
  • Background in audit, financial controls, or revenue assurance
