About Us

We are a Silicon Valley–backed AI startup transforming the accounting and tax landscape through intelligent automation. Backed by leading global investors and accelerators, we’re building the next-generation AI Financial Operating System for small businesses — combining bookkeeping, tax, and CFO services into one seamless experience.

This is a unique opportunity to join a fast-growing, high-impact startup where you’ll lead core tax operations, shape processes, and work closely with U.S.-based clients and a global team.

The Opportunity

We’re hiring a Tax Sr. Associate / Manager with strong experience in U.S. tax compliance across multiple entity types. You’ll manage the full tax cycle — from preparation and review to client delivery — while working closely with an offshore team of preparers. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys hands-on work, client interaction, and process leadership in a tech-driven environment.

What You’ll Do

• Tax Filings & Review: Manage and review U.S. federal and state tax returns, including:
• Individuals (Form 1040)
• C-Corporations (Form 1120-C)
• S-Corporations (Form 1120-S)
• Partnerships (Form 1065)
• Information Returns (Form 1099 series)
• Sales, Excise, and Franchise Taxes
• Entity Lifecycle Management: Support clients with incorporations, dissolutions, and annual franchise filings.
• Offshore Team Leadership: Collaborate with and review work from offshore preparers to ensure accuracy and compliance.
• Client Communication: Serve as a primary point of contact for U.S. clients — providing filing updates, resolving issues, and explaining outcomes.
• Tax Research & Advisory: Stay up-to-date with IRS and state developments and advise clients accordingly.
• AI & Automation: Leverage Otterz’s AI tools to streamline tax workflows, improve accuracy, and enhance efficiency.
• Process Ownership: Identify and implement best practices to scale tax operations.

What We’re Looking For

• 3–7 years of hands-on experience in U.S. tax preparation and review, ideally within CPA firms or BPOs.
• Strong knowledge of federal and multi-state filings for individuals, partnerships, C-corps, and S-corps.
• Experience with tax software such as Drake, ProConnect, or Lacerte.
• Exposure to multiple industries (e.g., tech, services, e-commerce, healthcare, real estate).
• Solid understanding of U.S. GAAP and IRS compliance standards.
• Excellent English communication and client management skills.
• Leadership experience overseeing a tax prep team is a plus.
• CPA, EA, or pursuing certification preferred but not required.

Why Join Us

• Career Growth: Clear path toward a senior manager or head of tax role.
• Equity Upside: Early employee stock options in a high-growth AI startup.
• Innovation: Work at the intersection of tax and technology.
• Global Exposure: Collaborate with U.S. clients and international teams.
• Remote Flexibility: Work from anywhere.
• Impact: Help redefine how small businesses manage their tax and compliance.
