Statutory Accounting Expert (ES, DE, FR)

Remote, part time, paid per approved task. You prepare the books and the national VAT return for a Spanish, German or French company from its source documents, the way you already do it for clients, and we use the result to test whether AI can do the same work.

About the role Sovrano AI is building one of the first evaluations of how well AI handles statutory accounting in Europe. A model is given a company's bank statements, invoices and payroll in the local language and has to produce the ledger, the periodic VAT return in the national form (Modelo 303, UStVA or CA3) and a file that imports into local accounting software. Its answer is graded against a reference answer written by a practitioner. That practitioner is you. You build tasks for one country. Each task is a short brief (company, period, what is filed and in which form), a complete set of source documents in the local language, and the reference answers: journal entries and ledger, the VAT return and the software import file. Every task is checked automatically, then reviewed by a qualified accountant from your country before it is accepted. The plan is 30 tasks across Spain, Germany and France by 30 November. You work on your own schedule inside a 7 day clock per task.
