• Exceptional attention to detail when fact-checking and identifying unsupported conclusions, missing steps, incorrect citations, or noncompliant recommendations; minimum C1 English proficiency.
• Comfortable evaluating answers for internal consistency (debits/credits, timing/cutoff, tax logic, and financial statement impacts).
