You will review the quality of accounting knowledge work tasks, write the instruction specs and golden solutions that define what \"correct\" looks like, and build the benchmarks that show whether the model is genuinely improving. We are looking for a practicing specialist rather than a generalist.\nLocation: This is a hybrid role based in the Bay Area, California. You must live in the Bay Area and work on-site with the client's team multiple days each week, when required. This is not a remote role. If you do not currently live in the Bay Area, you must be willing to relocate there at your own cost before the engagement starts. Relocation assistance is not provided.\nRequirements\nKey Responsibilities\nData QA and reviews: Vet the quality of accounting and audit knowledge work tasks and model outputs, spotting missing behaviors, thin reasoning, misapplied standards, unsupported accounting treatments, and answers that read well but would not survive review by a reviewing partner.\nInstruction specs and golden datasets: Write high-quality instruction specs, produce golden solutions to accounting and audit problems, and define new tasks that reflect how the work is actually done in practice.\nBenchmarks and domain depth: Design challenging accounting and audit tasks and evaluation sets, and help build domain-specific skills and tools together with the research team.\nCalibration: Work with client researchers and specialists in adjacent fields to keep standards consistent, translating tacit accounting judgment into explicit, teachable criteria.\nCore Qualifications\nCredentials: An active professional credential, for example CPA, CA, CIA, CFE, or CMA, alongside a bachelor's or master's degree in accounting or a closely related field.\nExperience: 4+ years of substantive accounting or audit experience at a recognized institution, for example a public accounting firm, a corporate controllership or finance function, an internal audit department, or a regulator. Bookkeeping-only roles do not count.\nDomain depth: Genuine specialization in at least one area, for example external audit and assurance, technical accounting and financial reporting under US GAAP or IFRS, internal audit and SOX controls, tax, forensic accounting and fraud examination, or revenue recognition.\nSeniority: Clear progression to a senior level, for example Audit Manager, Senior Manager, Accounting Manager, Controller, Director of Accounting, or Partner, with real ownership of engagements or reporting cycles.\nAI fluency: Hands-on working use of large language models in your professional work, and the judgment to tell a well-reasoned answer from a plausible-sounding wrong one.\nAvailability: Able to commit reliably to 40 hours per week for an initial engagement of 6 months.\n Location: Living in the Bay Area, California, and able to work on-site with the client's team multiple days each week, when required. Candidates not currently based in the Bay Area must be willing to relocate there at their own cost. Relocation assistance is not provided.\nExcellent written communication, and the ability to give precise, well-structured written feedback.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3485,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Relocation assistance"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-17T10:09:17Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":5,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.143,"p_room":0.35,"age_days":32,"expected_fill_days":5,"reasons":["conf:2","agency","stale_co","velocity","win:tail","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-20T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":200000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/weekday-accounting-audit-domain-expert","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/weekday-accounting-audit-domain-expert.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-21T04:28:43Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":6543,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-22T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":7097},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=7097"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fweekday-accounting-audit-domain-expert"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fweekday-accounting-audit-domain-expert"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fweekday-accounting-audit-domain-expert"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/weekday-accounting-audit-domain-expert\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fweekday-accounting-audit-domain-expert"}]}
