Job description

At System Six, we're building one of the best places to work in cloud-accounting—a place where our team members are the most important part of our business and where they consistently experience joy, flexibility, and professional growth. We are a fast-growing, modern, 100% remote organization delivering full-cycle accounting, tax, and other professional services to hundreds of clients nationwide.

We are actively seeking a Senior Tax Associate, a joyful and driven team member who will prepare and perform first review tax returns, assist with planning and research, and support both our clients and internal teams.

This is a full-time position, available to candidates in India, the Philippines, or Argentina, offering an opportunity to manage and grow within a thriving, ambitious, and balanced organization. System Six has grown significantly over the last five years and plans to continue to do so for decades moving forward; but importantly, we grow in a measured manner that allows all teams to find healthy fulfillment and balance in their career and personal life. This is not your traditional accounting firm with miserable busy seasons. Our talented team loves System Six and we can’t wait to show you how that energy permeates throughout our organization.

So what are we looking for in an ideal candidate?

Professional Skills

• 4+ years of public accounting experience, with expertise in tax compliance for individuals, S Corporations, C Corporations, and Partnerships/LLCs.

• Skilled in federal, state, and local tax compliance and reporting.

• Experience preparing and conducting first-level reviews of returns, and providing actionable feedback.

• Skilled in research, responding to tax notices, and supporting tax planning initiatives.

• Proficiency with tax and accounting software (at least one year working in Lacerte, experience in QuickBooks Online preferred, Karbon is a plus).

• Holds a CPA or EA license or it is in process

What does the day to day look like for this role?

As a Senior Tax Associate, you will work with a small tax department serving approximately 100 clients representing around 200 returns. We expect this to grow in the coming years as we look to expand our tax department alongside our blossoming CAS business. Your primary responsibilities are to:

• Prepare individual and business tax returns accurately and efficiently.

• Perform first-level reviews of tax returns prepared by Tax Associates.

• Assist with tax planning, research, and special projects.

• Respond to tax notices and support clients with compliance matters.

Importantly, here’s what’s in it for you:

• A joyful work environment where employees and culture are paramount. We understand that we are all human and we want your success in your professional life to elevate and empower your personal life

• Work/Life balance. Our team enjoys our work environment, as we are anything but a traditional accounting firm. No grueling hours that you see at traditional firms; we pride ourselves on calm, smooth tax seasons where our team doesn’t pull 60+ hours or anything close to that! We work hard to take care of our physical and mental health. Our diverse team includes human parents, dog parents, hikers, yogis, mountain bikers, readers, coffee/tea lovers, avid board game players, and all-around nice people

• A 100% remote environment. We've been remote for 10+ years and are set up for you to succeed remotely while working with flexibility during daytime professional hours

• Strong compensation. This exempt position offers an annual base salary ranging from $28,000-$33,000 USD and includes a bonus structure based upon performance.

• Growth opportunities. We are a healthily growing company on a multi-decade journey of evolution. We relish promoting from within, and will support you in your efforts to grow with System Six

This is a 100% remote, work from home role. You must have strong, reliable home internet connection and an environment conducive to video and phone calls. We are looking for a 6-hour overlap with a US time zone.
