Accounting Reviewer / CPA Consultant (Remote, Part-Time)
Approximately 40 hours total, delivered in structured batches over 2–3 weeks. You'll review synthetic accounting examples across four areas: -
Journal Entry examples
— verify entries are balanced, accounts are appropriate, and debits/credits are correctly assigned under the matching principle and double-entry bookkeeping -
Fixed Assets (ASC 360)
— validate capitalize vs. expense decisions, useful life determinations, and depreciation method selection -
Prepaids & Accruals
— confirm timing recognition is correct; distinguish prepaid vs. immediate expense, accrued expense vs. accrued revenue -
Policy Compliance edge cases
— review approval threshold logic, segregation of duties scenarios, and budget compliance decisions For each example, you'll provide: ✓ Valid / ✗ Invalid / ⚑ Flagged — plus a brief written note on anything you flag or correct. Annotation guidelines and a review template will be provided before your first batch. Note: some examples are intentionally edge cases or gray areas. We want your reasoning, not just a verdict. - Examples delivered in batches of 200–500 at a time via shared spreadsheet - 2–3 business day turnaround per batch - Async communication via Upwork messages - Start date: this week - Active CPA license, CPA candidate, or strong US GAAP background (senior accounting student or experienced bookkeeper with solid fundamentals will be considered) - Confident with double-entry bookkeeping and the matching principle — this is the foundation for everything you'll review - Solid working knowledge of ASC 360 (fixed assets) — capitalize vs. expense decisions come up frequently - Comfortable with accrual accounting concepts and prepaid amortization timing - Reliable and communicative — we're on a tight timeline and need consistent batch turnarounds - Able to start immediately
- *Note:** Deep expertise in ASC 842 (leases), ASC 606 (revenue recognition), or ASC 740 (tax) is not required for this engagement.
