- Join onboarding and calibration sessions to align your judgment with the team
What you need to apply

- Solid knowledge of GAAP and/or IFRS and financial statement analysis
- Strong written communication skills and a sharp eye for detail
Who can apply
The role is open to applicants from anywhere in the world, as no country restriction is stated. It is a remote freelance contract.
My tip
Show your reasoning clearly in your application, since writing well-explained feedback is a big part of this work. We suggest you name the standards you know best, such as GAAP or IFRS, and give a concrete example of your accounting experience.
