Tax and Audit Expert

Pay: up to $80/hour

In this hourly, remote contractor role, you will work as a Tax & Audit Subject Matter Expert (SME) to review AI-generated tax and audit responses and/or create expert accounting content, evaluating reasoning quality and step-by-step problem-solving while providing precise written feedback. You will assess solutions for accuracy, clarity, completeness, and adherence to the prompt; identify errors in tax treatment, compliance logic, audit methodology, risk assessment, internal controls, and financial reporting linkages;

fact-check technical claims; write high-quality explanations and model solutions that demonstrate correct methods; and rate and compare multiple responses based on correctness and reasoning quality. This role is with SME Careers, a fast-growing AI Data Services company and subsidiary of Super Annotate, delivering training data for many of the world’s largest AI companies and foundation-model labs.

Important:

There is no immediate project for this role; however, if qualified, you will be among the first experts we reach out to when relevant opportunities arise. This will also provide you with access to future projects available through our expert network.

• Develop AI Training Content:
  Create detailed prompts and gold-standard outputs across tax and audit topics (tax scenarios, audit programs, workpaper examples, control assessments, and technical explanations).
• Optimize AI Performance:
  Evaluate and rank AI responses to improve technical correctness, clarity, compliance alignment, and practical usefulness.
• Ensure Model Integrity:
  Test AI outputs for inaccuracies, unsafe/noncompliant guidance, and bias; validate reliability across business scenarios.

• 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 work papers, reconciliations, and documentation that is clear, defensible, and audit-ready.
• Solid understanding of internal controls (segregation of duties, approvals, access controls) and 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.
