Accountant (CPA/CA) Remote

Overview

This is a contract Accountant (CPA/CA) role with a remote work arrangement. The organization is seeking experienced tax professionals and US tax law experts to help train and evaluate next-generation AI systems.

Work focuses on interpreting US sales and use tax statutes and regulations and determining whether an AI-generated formal interpretation accurately reflects the legal requirements. The role emphasizes statutory interpretation, analytical reasoning, and attention to detail—translating complex legal provisions into precise, testable criteria used to evaluate AI-generated tax content.

Responsibilities

• Read and interpret US sales and use tax statutes and regulations across multiple state jurisdictions, with occasional federal tax provisions.
• Analyze statutory subsections, including defined terms, conditions, thresholds, exceptions, and related provisions.
• Create structured evaluation rubrics that break statutory requirements into discrete, objective, and testable criteria.
• Assign severity levels to requirements based on their actual legal significance.
• Review AI-generated interpretations and evaluate them against independently developed rubrics.
• Verify that AI outputs accurately capture conditions, thresholds, AND/OR logic, exceptions, exclusions, and defined terms.
• Develop clear, self-contained test scenarios and edge cases, including relevant facts, dates, amounts, and expected outcomes.
• Identify discrepancies, statutory exceptions, ambiguities, and potential inaccuracies in AI-generated tax content.
• Submit structured written evaluations and feedback through digital review platforms.
• Provide precise, actionable feedback to improve the accuracy and reliability of technology-driven tax solutions.

Requirements

• Active CPA license, Chartered Accountant (CA) designation, or experience as a US tax attorney.
• Strong experience interpreting US tax law, particularly sales and use tax or state and local taxation.
• Proven ability to interpret tax statutes and regulations (not solely tax return preparation).
• Strong understanding of legal logic, including conditions, thresholds, exceptions, defined terms, and AND/OR structures.
• Excellent structured written communication skills with an emphasis on precision and clarity.
• Exceptional attention to detail, especially when analyzing exceptions, exclusions, and edge cases.
• Strong analytical and critical-thinking abilities.
• Ability to work independently and consistently apply objective evaluation criteria.
• Comfort providing structured feedback and evaluations through digital review platforms.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience interpreting tax statutes across multiple US state jurisdictions.
• Enrolled Agent (EA) designation or relevant federal tax experience.
• Experience reviewing, validating, or evaluating AI-generated tax or legal content.
• Familiarity with AI-powered tax solutions or technology-driven tax compliance platforms.
• Experience training teams or providing written feedback on tax, legal, or regulatory language.
• Background in state and local tax (SALT) matters.
• Interest in the intersection of tax law, AI, and technology-driven compliance solutions.
