Job description

WebLife is a multi-venture holding company that builds and operates multiple businesses simultaneously. Founded in 2008, with over 16 years of operational excellence and $250 million in all-time revenue, we have evolved from an e-commerce leader into a portfolio of AI-focused ventures spanning e-commerce, SaaS, education, and recruitment.

What sets us apart is our operational foundation — disciplined operations, data-driven decision-making, and deep AI integration across everything we do.

Backed by WebLife's long-term stability and operational maturity, we operate with the speed and ownership mindset of a product-first startup — tight feedback loops, high accountability, and an expectation that every hire meaningfully influences strategy, execution, and how our ventures evolve over time. Combining the strength of a proven e-commerce business with the agility of an innovation hub, we offer a collaborative, growth-focused environment where your ideas matter and your career can thrive.

About the Role

We are seeking a detail-oriented US Tax Preparer with expertise in US federal and multi-state income and sales tax compliance. In this role, you will work closely with the finance team to ensure accurate filings, maintain compliance obligations, and support timely tax reporting across a portfolio of multi-state entities.

This role offers a clear growth pathway. Through structured exposure to leadership and hands‑on involvement across a diverse US entity portfolio, the successful candidate will progressively develop deeper tax advisory and strategic planning capabilities.

Responsibilities

• Prepare and review US federal income tax returns for WebLife and its portfolio of e-commerce businesses, ensuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
• Manage multi‑state income, franchise, and sales and use tax filings, including nexus tracking and economic nexus threshold monitoring for remote sellers.
• Conduct tax research and analysis to identify compliance risks and flag opportunities for tax savings for the senior advisor to evaluate.
• Collaborate with the finance team to integrate tax considerations into financial planning and reporting.
• Maintain the compliance calendar across all entities to ensure no filing deadlines are missed.
• Stay updated on changes in US federal and state tax laws and regulations to ensure timely compliance.
• Provide support during tax audits and liaise with tax authorities as needed.
• Develop and maintain documentation for tax filings, positions, policies, and procedures.
• Assist with state‑level tax compliance as needed, with a focus on California where applicable.

Requirements

• Enrolled Agent (EA) designation strongly preferred; CPA or equivalent qualification with active US tax practice will also be considered.
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
• 3–5 years of hands-on experience in US federal income tax preparation and compliance.
• Prior experience working with US clients — within a US CPA firm’s offshore team, Big 4 tax advisory practice, or similar cross-border arrangement.
• Solid understanding of US federal tax laws, regulations, and filing requirements.
• Proficiency in tax preparation and accounting software.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with attention to detail.
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal.
• Ability to work independently in a remote setting and manage multiple priorities effectively.
• Experience with California state income tax is a plus but not mandatory.

What We Offer

• Competitive USD-based compensation packages.
• AI-driven, innovation-focused projects.
• A culture that encourages curiosity and lifelong learning.
• Clear career paths and personal development opportunities.
• A flexible, work-from-home setup as part of a globally connected team.
