• Partner with WissLabs innovation team on experiments that turn manual finance processes (close, AP, reporting) into AI‑assisted workflows, including building and testing prompts, evaluations, and small AI skills or agents.
• Gain hands‑on exposure to emerging AI-native accounting and finance platforms and help evaluate them for client fit.
• Participate in quality assurance and ensure deliverables meet client expectations.
