Job description

About Prolific

Prolific is not just another player in the AI space. We are building the biggest pool of quality human data in the world. Over 35,000 AI developers, researchers, and organisations use Prolific to gather data from paid study participants with a wide variety of experiences, knowledge, and skills.

The Opportunity

We are inviting Certified Accountants to join our global network of Subject Matter Experts (SMEs). This is not a traditional accounting role;
instead, you will be providing expert-level analysis for B2B and AI Research projects that require a deep understanding of fiscal regulations, reporting standards, and financial logic. Please note: This is a \"bench\" model. By verifying your credentials, you gain eligibility for high-level research tasks as they become available. Access is based on project demand and professional profile matching.

What you’ll be doing

• Professional document analysis: Reviewing complex financial statements, audit reports, and regulatory filings to ensure data integrity.
• Domain-specific validation: Answering knowledge-based questions that require an active understanding of international or local accounting standards.
• Business logic synthesis: Providing the professional \"human-in-the-loop\" oversight that ensures B2B research is accurate and enterprise-ready.

What you’ll bring

Active certification: You must hold a valid, verifiable professional license (e.g. CPA, ACCA, ACA, CIMA or regional equivalent).

Technical rigor: The ability to navigate long-form financial documents and extract precise information under research conditions.

Global perspective: We welcome qualified accountants from around the world who can apply their local or international standards to complex datasets.

Integrity: All participants must undergo a verification process to confirm their active professional standing.

Why join this project?

This is a flexible, high-rate opportunity to apply your specialised certification to the forefront of global business research. At $60 per hour, you can contribute your expertise on an ad hoc basis that fits perfectly around your existing clients or firm commitments.

Why Prolific is a great platform to join as an expert participant

Joining our platform as a participant will give you the chance to influence the AI models of the future. Once you pass our assessment, you can join Prolific in just 15 minutes and start enjoying competitive pay rates, flexible hours, and the ability to work from home.

We’ve built a unique platform that connects researchers and companies with a global pool of participants, enabling the collection of high-quality, ethically sourced human behavioral data and feedback. This data is the cornerstone of developing more accurate, nuanced, and aligned AI systems.

We believe that the next leap in AI capabilities won’t come solely from scaling existing models, but from integrating diverse human perspectives and behaviors into AI development. By providing this crucial human data infrastructure, Prolific is positioning itself at the forefront of the next wave of AI innovation – one that reflects the breadth and the best of humanity.

Please note that you must be new to Prolific to sign up successfully. If you already have a Prolific account, there is no need to register again; simply ensure your profile is up to date to be eligible for opportunities.
