Accounting Domain Intake — Shape Upcoming Accounting Engagements

About This Survey

Mercor is opening a series of accounting-focused engagements with leading AI labs over the coming weeks and months — spanning audit reasoning, financial reporting, tax, GAAP/IFRS analysis, and adjacent workstreams. Before we finalize the scope of each, we want to build them around how accountants actually work, not how the field is described in textbooks or public sources.

This is a written intake designed to map out the real workflows, tools, decision points, and specialty cuts inside the profession — from the inside.

What You’ll Do

• Complete a ~30-minute written intake about your accounting practice
• Describe your day-to-day workflows, how your time is split, and the workflows core to your role
• Explain how experienced accountants actually divide the field from the inside — the cuts insiders use, not the textbook ones
• Share the “invisible” parts of your work that outsiders (including project designers) tend to miss
• No right or wrong answers — detail and specificity matter far more than polish

Ideal Respondents

• Practicing or recently practicing accountants — public accounting, corporate finance, audit, tax, or advisory
• CPA (or equivalent) preferred; deep domain experience without the credential also welcome
• Willing to write detailed, specific responses about the mechanics of your work

Why This Matters

• Your intake shapes the scope of the accounting engagements we launch
• Thoughtful responses translate directly into more offer matches and priority routing as we open new engagements over the coming weeks and months
• Typical accounting rates on Mercor range from $80–$120/hr and scale with seniority
