Job description

Nuve is a CPA-led outsourced finance firm serving restoration and trades business owners doing $1M–$5M in revenue. We bring bookkeeping, tax, and advisory into one team, so our clients stop stitching together three providers who never talk to each other.

We run on EOS. Every seat has written accountabilities, a small number of measurables, and a clear next step. You will know what success looks like from your first week, and you will know where you stand without having to ask.

About Nuve

Nuve is a CPA-led outsourced finance firm serving restoration and trades business owners doing $1M–$5M in revenue. We bring bookkeeping, tax, and advisory into one team, so our clients stop stitching together three providers who never talk to each other.

We run on EOS. Every seat has written accountabilities, a small number of measurables, and a clear next step. You will know what success looks like from your first week, and you will know where you stand without having to ask.

The Role

You prepare returns, both individual and business — you take a client from a set of books and a stack of documents to a return that is ready for review.

Because we do the bookkeeping for most of our tax clients, you are not chasing a mystery general ledger from another firm. You work from files we control, which means you are the person who catches what the books missed before it becomes a problem on the return.

This is a seasonal seat, and it is built to come back. We are looking for someone who wants to be part of our tax team every filing season, not a one-time fill-in. Strong seasonal team members are invited back each year, and their seat grows with them.

Every return you prepare is reviewed by a CPA before it is filed. It is a real preparation seat with a real reviewer above it — you are not filing returns nobody checks.

The Shape of the Year

• Training: 10–15 hours per week, paid.
• January–April 15: At least 20 hours per week, with availability for up to 40 hours during peak periods.
• Required overlap: 9 AM–1 PM Central Time during filing season.
• May–August: Additional work may be available as needed.
• August–October: Approximately 10 hours per week during extension season.

If a heavy four-month season followed by lighter work the rest of the year is a problem for you, this is not the right seat. If it fits how you like to work, it fits us.

What You'll Do

• Prepare individual returns with business and rental income — Schedules C, E, and K-1 flow-through — and state returns, to a standard that comes back with few review points.
• Prepare business returns — S-corps and partnerships — to the same standard, with a reviewer assigned to each.
• Own the bookkeeping-to-tax handoff for your assigned clients. Tie the return to the books before it goes to review.
• Manage client files and organizers — chase what is missing and keep the pipeline status current so nobody has to ask where a return stands.
• Document open questions in the return notes with your proposed answer, so the reviewer sees the issue and your thinking together.
• Respond to review notes within one business day and close them out cleanly.
• Research what you do not know — with a time limit. Then bring it to your reviewer rather than spending another hour on it.
• Meet every filing deadline for the clients assigned to you, and say so early when one is at risk.
• Log your hours weekly in QuickBooks Time.

Who You Are

• 2+ tax seasons preparing U.S. returns, both individual returns with business or rental income and business returns (S-corps and partnerships). You are comfortable with both.
• You can prepare a return end to end from documents, and explain your workpaper trail.
• Working knowledge of federal and state filing requirements for small business owners.
• You are available when it counts. January through April 15 is when you are most available to us, not when you are busiest with another commitment.
• You accelerate on a timer, not on exhaustion. You research for a set time, then bring it to your reviewer.
• You meet deadlines without reminders, including in season.
• You communicate clearly in writing. Most client contact here is written, and it needs to be readable by someone who is not a tax person.
• You take review notes without them landing personally. Your work will be marked up, and that is how you get better.
• You are honest about your capacity. We would rather know in February that you are underwater than find out in April.
• You work well fully remote — self-directed and organised. During the busy season (January 1–April 15) you are available 9am–1pm CST; the rest of your hours you schedule yourself.

Nice to have

• Familiarity with ProConnect, TaxDome, or QuickBooks Online.
• Exposure to multi-state filings.
• EA candidacy, EA, or CPA track.

Tools You'll Use

ProConnect, TaxDome, Karbon, QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Time, and Zoom. All cloud-based — nothing desktop, nothing on a server.

Why Join Nuve

• Paid training. Every hour you work while you learn our process is paid.
• A seat that comes back. Seasonal here means ongoing: strong team members are invited back each filing season.
• We do the books too. You work from files we control, so you are not reverse-engineering someone else's mess every February.
• Direct line to the CEO, who is a CPA and reviews returns himself. Small firm, fast decisions, no layers.
• Work that is used. Our clients read their numbers and make decisions from them. Nothing you produce goes into a drawer.

Compensation

Hourly. You are paid for every approved hour you work, including training. The rate is set during the process based on experience. This seat does not carry commission. A season-end bonus may also be paid at our discretion, based on individual performance and firm profitability.
