You'll work alongside our Tax Compliance Manager and prepare the first pass of client returns.

• Track down missing documents and information to keep returns moving.
• Flag anything unusual or unclear to the review team.
• Keep our systems current so the team can see where every return stands.
• Tell us what's slowing you down so we can fix the workflow and the tooling.

Qualifications and Requirements

• You have 1 to 2 years of U.S. tax preparation experience, including 1040, 1120S, and1065 returns.
• Experience with any of these is a plus: trust returns, Schedule F (agriculture), K-1 investments, foreign income for U.S. residents, and multi-state returns.
• You want to build a career in tax, and you're looking for a seat where the work gets harder as you get better.
• You care about the clients behind the returns, and you want to build something new with a small team.
• You're detail-oriented and organized, and you ask questions when something doesn't look right.
• You're comfortable working remotely across tax software, client portals, and secure file sharing.
