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
When selected for an active project, your tasks will involve:
* 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.
