Title: Data Entry Specialist — Scanned Invoice Transcription into Airtable (Ongoing)
Worldwide
We're digitizing a large volume of scanned customer invoices into a structured Airtable base, and we're hiring multiple meticulous data entry specialists to transcribe them. You'll be given access to an Airtable form. Each record corresponds to one scanned invoice image (attached to the record). For each invoice, you'll read the scan and enter roughly 20–25 fields: dollar amounts (subtotal, tax, shipping, totals), payment dates and amounts (deposit and final payment), payment method, checkboxes, and a free-text notes field. All entries go through a clearly typed form — currency fields, date pickers, and dropdowns — so the structure does the formatting for you. Your job is reading carefully and typing accurately. A few things to know about the source material: these are real-world scans — rotated pages, occasional handwriting, and a few faint or hard-to-read areas. Part of the job is flagging anything illegible using a checkbox rather than guessing. Accuracy matters far more than speed here; every record goes through a QC review, and continued work is based on maintaining a low error rate, not a fast clock. Ongoing work across a large document set, assigned in batches We're hiring several specialists; strong performers will receive continued batches Hourly or per-invoice pricing — propose what works for you You're a fit if you: Have demonstrable data entry experience with financial documents (invoices, receipts, statements) Are comfortable reading scanned/handwritten source documents Have used Airtable, or are confident picking up a simple form quickly Ask questions when something is ambiguous instead of guessing Can commit consistent weekly hours Important — confidentiality: These are business financial documents. You'll be required to sign a simple NDA before starting. Sensitive payment details have been redacted from the images, but if you encounter any payment card information that was missed, the instruction is simple: do not transcribe it — check the "contains card data" flag on the record and move on. Following this rule precisely is a hard requirement. To apply: Start your proposal with the word "LEDGER" so we know you read this posting. Briefly describe your experience with financial document transcription, and tell us: if a handwritten dollar amount could be read as either $1,635.00 or $1,685.00, what would you do? There's a right answer.
