General Accounting Expert

What you’ll do

Mercor is partnering with leading AI labs to advance frontier agent evaluations in accounting. As a General Accounting Expert, you’ll build long-horizon accounting tasks that mirror the work you already do, each paired with a deterministic rubric that grades agent performance against verifiable ground truth. Tasks need to have checkable answers; no open-ended essays, no subjective judgment calls.

Expect to build scenarios across:

• Transactional accounting: journal entries that balance and map to specified accounts, AP/AR with defined cash application rules
• Close processes: reconciliations with a known reconciled balance, accruals tied to source invoices, intercompany eliminations that net to zero
• Supporting analysis: flux explanations against a ground-truth variance

These scenarios will be challenging and take long sessions of focus.

Who we’re looking for

• BS in Accounting or related; 3+ years as a staff/senior accountant
• Expertise in one or more of the following: reconciliations, accruals, intercompany, fixed assets, AP/AR at scale on a major ERP (NetSuite, SAP, Oracle, QuickBooks, Xero, Intacct)
• Comfortable reading and producing accounting artifacts: JE packages, reconciliations, close checklists, trial balances, workpapers
• Clear written communication; can articulate reasoning step by step and encode it into deterministic rubrics
• CPA or CPA candidate preferred

Compensation

$50–$70/hr depending on domain depth and prior experience. Strong contributors are promoted based on task quality and throughput.
