Role Overview
Mercor is collaborating with a leading AI lab to engage technical accounting and SEC reporting specialists. You’ll translate real technical-accounting and external-reporting work into structured, high-quality training data that teaches AI to reason through complex ASC judgments.
Focus Areas
Technical accounting & external / SEC reporting — with deep, hands-on exposure to the standards (ASC 606 revenue, 842 leases, 718 stock comp, 805 business combinations).
Key Responsibilities
- Design realistic scenarios from your work — technical accounting memos, technical accounting schedules, SEC filings (10-K / 10-Q), footnotes & disclosures, and applying new/complex ASC standards to transactions
- Review and compare AI-generated technical outputs for standards-accurate conclusions and defensible support
- Provide clear written feedback that improves how AI reasons about technical accounting
- Collaborate asynchronously with the research team
Ideal Qualifications
- Big 4 or public-company technical accounting / SEC reporting background
- Deep, hands-on ASC exposure (606, 842, 718, 805) — actual technical-accounting depth, not general audit experience
- CPA
- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
- Strong written communication and attention to detail
Application Process
- Submit a resume or a short summary of your technical accounting experience
- Complete a short form on your practice area, specialties, and certifications
- Selected applicants may complete a brief sample task
We consider all qualified applicants without regard to legally protected characteristics and provide reasonable accommodations upon request.
