Accountant - Research Survey (ONET Occupation Study)

**About this study** Mercor is building a new, more accurate version of ONET — the U.S. government's framework for describing occupations and the tasks they involve. We are gathering input directly from experienced practitioners to improve how the work of accountants is described. **What you'll do** - Complete a one-time online survey/interview about your day-to-day work as an accountant. It takes **up to 30 minutes**. - There may be an optional follow-up survey, task, or short interview afterward, which would be paid separately. **Pay** - Pay is set in proportion to the expected hourly wage for accountants (~$39/hour). The initial task is \*\*~30 minutes\*\*, so it pays roughly half an hour at that rate, with the potential for additional paid tasks later. **Who we're looking for** - **2+ years of experience working specifically as an accountant** (SOC 13-2011 — Accountants and Auditors). - **U.S.-based.** - **Currently employed as an accountant, or employed in the role recently** — we are not looking for people who left the profession many years ago. - You must have actually held an accountant role. Accounting students or people with only general finance exposure are not a fit unless they have genuinely worked as an accountant.
