U.S. Based Accountant (CPA/CA)

Role Overview

Apply your U.S. tax expertise to help improve AI systems that interpret sales and use tax law. You will translate statutory language into precise, testable requirements, evaluate formal AI interpretations, and document findings across multiple state jurisdictions and, at times, federal tax provisions. Prior AI experience is not required.

Key Responsibilities

• Read and interpret U.S. sales and use tax statutes and regulations, including individual subsections, across state jurisdictions and occasionally federal tax provisions.
• Create statute-grounded review rubrics that break legal text into discrete requirements an AI interpretation must meet.
• Classify requirements as critical, secondary, or minor based on their actual statutory importance.
• Review AI-generated formal translations of tax statutes and assess them against approved criteria on a pass/fail basis.
• Verify accurate treatment of conditions, thresholds, AND/OR logic, exceptions, and defined terms.
• Develop clear test scenarios for failed criteria, including edge cases and explicit facts, dates, amounts, and expected outcomes.
• Identify and flag discrepancies, statutory exceptions, and genuine legal ambiguities.
• Submit structured written evaluations through a digital review platform.

Qualifications

• Active CPA license, Chartered Accountant designation, or experience as a U.S. tax attorney.
• Demonstrated ability to interpret tax statutes and regulations, beyond tax-return preparation.
• Sales and use tax experience or broader state and local tax statutory experience is strongly preferred.
• Comfort analyzing legal logic, including conditions, thresholds, AND/OR structures, exceptions, and defined terms.
• Excellent structured written communication and analytical reasoning skills.
• Exceptional attention to detail, particularly for exclusions and edge cases.
• Comfort providing detailed feedback through digital review tools.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working across multiple state tax jurisdictions.
• Enrolled Agent designation or relevant federal tax experience for scenario review work.
• Experience reviewing or validating AI-generated or technology-driven tax content.
• Experience training teams or providing written feedback on legal or tax language.
• Interest in technology and tax compliance.

Work Terms

• Remote contract engagement.

Compensation

• $65 to $70 per hour.
