Job description

Teach accountants to reconcile accounts and write month-end commentary with AI, tying every figure back to the ledger. You teach in English from a ready class kit, working remotely, and you are paid for each class you teach.

What the work is for

YPAI Learn offers live classes that show people how to use AI in their own job. Your classes take accountants from an invented bank export and ledger to a finished reconciliation, and from a trial balance to month-end commentary, and teach them to check every number and explanation against the books.

The work

• Teach the live class "Reconcile a month of bank transactions with AI and explain every difference", 90 minutes, from the class kit.
• Teach the live class "Draft month-end commentary from a trial balance with AI", 90 minutes, from the class kit.
• Show live how to give AI an invented bank export and ledger, ask it to match items and list what is left, and then tie the totals back by hand.
• Walk learners through month-end commentary: let AI suggest why costs moved, then test each explanation against the ledger before it goes to a manager.
• Help learners when spreadsheet functions, date formats or column names trip up the AI, using made-up company data only.

What to expect

• You run the classes live, online and in English for accountants worldwide, and the application asks which other languages you could also teach in.
• A kit comes with each class: a minute-by-minute plan, slides, speaker notes, a demo on an invented company's books, and a backup recording of the demo.
• Your own computer, a stable connection, a camera and a microphone are what you need to teach remotely, plus spreadsheet software for the reconciliation demo.
• The first time you teach a class comes after you pass its instructor test.
• Before a teaching assignment starts, you sign an instructor agreement. It covers pay, confidentiality and how class material may be used.
• Each invitation states the class times and the price learners pay, and you see both before you accept.

What you bring

• A reconciliation, close checklist or reporting workflow you sped up with AI in real accounting work, shown on invented figures.
• Experience training junior accountants or bookkeepers, running finance team workshops or teaching accounting.
• Patience with accountants who trust a spreadsheet more than a chat window.

You need

• Hands‑on use of AI in your accounting work, for example reconciliations, close tasks, reporting or client questions.
• Experience as a qualified accountant, or in senior bookkeeping or finance roles, now or in the past.
• Fluent spoken English, the language the classes are taught in.
• 18 years or older.

Good to know

• Where your contract asks for approval before outside work, get your employer's go‑ahead before accepting an assignment.
• How much you teach follows how many learners book the classes, and the invitation spells out the expected time commitment.
• You can apply free of charge, and there is no YPAI Learn course you must take or buy.
