    • Determine whether completed materials meet audit-ready and management-review standards

    Evaluation Criteria & Rubric Development

    • Design precise, task-specific grading criteria for professional accounting deliverables
    • Define measurable standards covering technical accuracy, US GAAP application, supporting evidence, presentation, and completeness
    • Ensure evaluation criteria reflect realistic expectations from audit, advisory, and corporate accounting environments

    • Identify issues that may affect reporting accuracy, audit readiness, or internal review

    Scoring & Written Justification

    • Score AI-generated and human-created accounting work against structured evaluation criteria
    • Provide detailed written explanations supporting each assessment decision
    • Apply consistent, evidence-based judgment across different accounting tasks and reporting scenarios
    • Incorporate feedback from senior reviewers and adjust evaluation approaches efficiently

    • Ability to evaluate technical accounting conclusions and supporting documentation
    • Exceptional written communication and the ability to explain accounting judgments clearly
    • Strong attention to detail and comfort having evaluation decisions reviewed and calibrated

    Educational Background

    • A degree in accounting, finance, economics, business, or a related analytical field is helpful
    • A CPA or equivalent professional accounting qualification is strongly preferred
    • Professional experience in audit, assurance, advisory, controllership, or financial reporting is highly relevant
    • Equivalent hands-on experience preparing and reviewing complex accounting deliverables may also be considered

    Nice to Have
