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.
