**Proofreader/Copy Editor Needed – Accounting Firm Web Pages (Short Project)** **Overview** I have 28 web pages of copy for a CPA firm website that need a light but sharp human edit. The content is already written and has passed AI detection — this is NOT an AI writing job. I need a skilled human editor to review and tighten it. **What needs to be done:** - Check that headlines and intro paragraphs are congruent (the headline promises what the intro delivers) - Fix any awkward or robotic-sounding sentences - Break up run-ons and tighten rambling phrasing - Smooth transitions where the writing shifts tone or feels choppy - Light grammar/punctuation cleanup as needed - Flag anything that sounds off-brand for a small-town CPA firm (warm, trustworthy, straightforward tone) **What this is NOT:** - Do not rewrite entire sections - Do not run content through AI tools — this copy must remain human-written - Do not change the factual content or structure **Deliverable** Return the edited copy in the same format you receive it (Google Doc or Word). Use Track Changes or highlight your edits so I can review and accept/reject. **Ideal Candidate** - Strong editorial instincts, not just grammar checking - Experience editing web copy or marketing content - Understands conversational but professional tone - Fast turnaround

We're a premium raw, freeze-dried, and lightly cooked pet food brand and we're looking for someone who can work alongside our internal team, designers, and external print partners as an ongoing extension of the team. What you'll do: • Work with internal teams to create master proofing documents. • Route marked revisions to designers, confirm corrections each round, and keep all parties aligned • Proof packaging PDFs against our master tech-copy spreadsheet across proteins and formats • Verify AAFCO/FDA/FTC labeling compliance: ingredient order, guaranteed analysis, nutritional adequacy statements, calorie content formatting, net weight, claims • Proof French Canadian label translations for accuracy and formatting • Coordinate with our printer on dielines, bleed/safe zones, barcode/UPC scannability (quiet zones and magnification, not just check digits), spot/Pantone color verification, white-ink and overprint layers, and press-ready files • Maintain version control and audit trail across SKUs • Own a proofing checklist so standards hold across every product line • Track and manage approvals among the internal team. • You're a good fit if you: • Have proofed regulated CPG packaging — pet food experience strongly preferred • Know AAFCO requirements well • Catch inconsistencies across SKUs and bag sizes — punctuation drops, hyphenation drift, capitalization, "&" vs. "and," brand-voice and copy-style deviations — not just regulatory errors. You notice when the same field reads differently on two bags, or when a feeding chart from one protein lands on another. • Extremely detail oriented • Comfortable in Acrobat, Excel, Asana and AI tools. • Can manage a revision process with multiple stakeholders and keep things moving • Are looking for ongoing work, not a one-off project • Have worked with printers and understand colors (process and stop), plates, etc. Approximate time • The brand typically has 3-10 design edits a month. • Hours may vary, but between 5-10 hours a week.
