Tax and Audit Expert

In this hourly, remote contractor role, you will work as a Tax & Audit Subject Matter Expert (SME) to review AI-generated tax and audit responses and/or create expert accounting content, evaluating reasoning quality and step-by-step problem-solving while providing precise written feedback. You will assess solutions for accuracy, clarity, completeness, and adherence to the prompt; identify errors in tax treatment, compliance logic, audit methodology, risk assessment, internal controls, and financial reporting linkages; fact-check technical claims; write high-quality explanations and model solutions that demonstrate correct methods; and rate and compare multiple responses based on correctness and reasoning quality. This role is with SME Careers, a fast-growing AI Data Services company and subsidiary of SuperAnnotate, delivering training data for many of the world’s largest AI companies and foundation-model labs. Important There is no immediate project for this role; however, if qualified, you will be among the first experts we reach out to when relevant opportunities arise. This will also provide you with access to future projects available through our expert network.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop AI Training Content: Create detailed prompts and gold-standard outputs across tax and audit topics (tax scenarios, audit programs, workpaper examples, control assessments, and technical explanations).
• Optimize AI Performance: Evaluate and rank AI responses to improve technical correctness, clarity, compliance alignment, and practical usefulness.
• Ensure Model Integrity: Test AI outputs for inaccuracies, unsafe/noncompliant guidance, and bias; validate reliability across business scenarios.

• 5+ years of professional experience in tax and/or audit (public accounting, advisory, internal audit, or industry).
• Strong command of tax fundamentals relevant to your jurisdiction(s): corporate/individual basics, taxable income adjustments, credits/deductions, nexus/permanent establishment awareness, withholding/VAT/GST concepts (as applicable).
• Strong command of audit fundamentals: planning, materiality, risk assessment, control testing, substantive procedures, sampling concepts, and audit evidence quality.
• Proven ability to review or prepare workpapers, reconciliations, and documentation that is clear, defensible, and audit-ready.
• Solid understanding of internal controls (segregation of duties, approvals, access controls) and familiarity with SOX concepts is a plus.
• Exceptional attention to detail when fact-checking and identifying unsupported conclusions, missing steps, incorrect citations, or noncompliant recommendations; minimum C1 English proficiency.
