Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Aptura works with leading foundational AI labs to bring institutional finance expertise directly into AI model development. They are seeking a candidate with extensive experience in operational accounting to design and evaluate financial close tasks for AI model training.

Responsibilities

• Design realistic close and general ledger tasks: the reconciliations, accruals, and intercompany eliminations real teams sweat over at period-end
• Write evaluation rubrics that define what "correct" means — not just a balanced trial balance, but the right call on accruals, cut-offs, and adjustments
• Review AI-generated journal entries, reconciliations, and variance analyses for accuracy and completeness — and catch the errors a reviewer is paid to catch
• Build reference close packages and worked solutions that set the benchmark models are tested against
• Make the reasoning behind each close decision explicit, so a model learns the why — not just the output

Skills

• 5–8+ years in operational accounting as a Controller, Assistant Controller, or close / GL lead
• You've run a close end-to-end and can spot a soft reconciliation in seconds
• Hands-on with ERPs such as NetSuite, SAP, or QuickBooks
• You can explain why an entry is right — the judgement, not just the mechanics
• CPA, ACA / ACCA, or equivalent (preferred, not required)

Benefits

• Fully remote, part-time and flexible.
• Work is scoped by project and ranges from short engagements to ongoing collaborations, structured as a contract or a monthly retainer.
