• Assist customers with Tax product and software-related questions.
• Research tax questions using government resources, professional tax tools, and internal resources.
• Apply established tax procedures and best practices to resolve customer questions.
• Maintain accurate documentation of customer interactions.
• Work toward quality, efficiency, and customer satisfaction KPIs.
• Collaborate closely with preparers and quality-review teams to deliver a complete customer experience.

What We’re Looking For

• Minimum 2 seasons of paid tax preparation experience.
• At least 30 completed tax returns per season through preparation and/or review experience.

• Comfortable reviewing and signing tax returns prepared by another tax professional.
• Strong written communication skills, particularly the ability to create clear and actionable handoff notes.
• Strong customer service and relationship-building skills.
• Ability to explain tax information to customers in a simple and professional manner.
• Strong research and problem-solving skills.
• Comfortable using virtual/audio communication technology.
• Ability to work effectively in a team-based environment.
• College degree preferred, particularly in Accounting, Finance, Business, or Taxation.
