Before you apply
This is training and evaluation work for AI models, not client work: you do not prepare anyone's taxes or sign an audit. If you work at a firm, check its independence and outside-work rules first, and never use client records in a task. A legitimate platform never charges you to apply.
Pay by specialty
Each specialty's typical pay is measured over its own open roles the way every band on this site is (the 25th percentile of what roles pay (the middle of each advertised range) to the 90th-percentile advertised ceiling), and shown only where at least three distinct rates are posted.
What the roles ask for
Read from the requirements of 20 of the 32 open roles for accountants: the lines each role's pop-up lists from its posting. A role counts once, at the lowest degree it accepts.
- Name years of experience10
- Name a CPA6
- Ask where you live or may work4
- Name a chartered qualification (CA, ACCA)2
- Ask for a professional license1

The roles that name experience ask for a median of 5 years.
What platforms pay to find you
