Xper 1

Is it correct to write this in a professional paper? Or should I change "are correct" to "were correct" so it can be past tense just like "worked"

Yes

No, change "are correct" to "were correct."

I worked with the accountants to ensure that our numbers were correct.

So long as they remain correct then "are" is fine. If its a past tense were its no longer up to date change to were.
