• Use proprietary software applications to provide input/labels on defined projects.

• Support and ensure the delivery of high-quality curated data.

• Choose problems from corporate accounting fields that align with your expertise, providing rigorous solutions and model critiques where you can confidently provide detailed solutions and evaluate model responses.

• Regularly interpret, analyse, and execute tasks based on given instructions.

Basic Qualifications:

• Experience in technical accounting, audit, or accounting advisory roles within a public accounting firm or specialised accounting advisory practice, with exposure to complex GAAP and SEC-reporting environments.

• Demonstrated ability to research and apply U.S. GAAP and other authoritative guidance to non-routine or judgment-intensive accounting issues.

• Strong written communication skills in English, with the ability to document accounting conclusions clearly and logically.

• Proficiency in navigating authoritative accounting resources, including FASB Codification, SEC EDGAR, public-company filings, and accounting policy documentation.

• Strong analytical judgment and the ability to reach defensible accounting conclusions in situations involving ambiguity or incomplete information.

• Interest in applying technical accounting expertise to emerging technologies and AI-driven accounting analysis.

Preferred Skills and Experience:

• CPA license in good standing.

• Experience in national office, technical accounting advisory, or SEC-focused roles, including ownership of complex or novel accounting issues.

• Demonstrated leadership in developing, reviewing, or approving technical accounting memoranda, accounting policies, or position papers for significant transactions or reporting matters.

• Deep familiarity with SEC disclosure requirements, including hands-on review of 10-K/10-Q footnotes, critical accounting policies, or MD&A from a technical accounting perspective.

• Teaching, training, or mentoring experience in advanced or technical accounting topics, including firm-level technical training or academic instruction.

• Contributions to professional thought leadership, such as publications, presentations, or firm-issued accounting guidance.

Location and Other Expectations:

• Tutor roles may be offered as full-time, part-time, or contractor positions, depending on role needs and candidate fit.

• For contractor positions, hours will vary widely based on project scope and contractor availability, with no fixed commitments required.

On average most projects may involve at least 10 hours per week to achieve deliverables effectively though this is not a fixed commitment and depends on the scope of work.

Contractors have full flexibility to set their own hours and determine the exact amount of time needed to complete deliverables.
