FT Tax Preparer, Fully Remote with benefits and 401k

Full Service Professional Bookkeeping and Tax Firm needs a smart, detail oriented person to fill a remote Tax Preparer position.

Do you have a degree and 5 or more years of experience in Tax preparation for business and personal returns? Are you a super detailed type of person who really enjoys seeing all the check boxes get checked? Would you prefer a casual, drama-free workplace that rewards good ideas and smart, hardworking people over playing favorites and internal politics? That's us!

We are a fast-growing firm (adding 50-70 new bookkeeping clients a month!) and our Tax Department is busy year round with return preparation, advisory services, tax projections and help with estimated payments….. no mad rush for deadlines here!

We value smart, tech savvy and customer service-oriented tax pros. We'll show you how we like to do things but you'll also have the opportunity to contribute ideas and best practices. Prior experience working with ProConnect, QuickBooks Online and being an Excel master is a big plus! Also, one of our biggest selling points is our great customer service, so being able to communicate well in writing and over the phone with our staff and clients is a must.

Job Duties include

• Informing clients or employers on the tax preparation process
• Collecting relevant financial records
• Inputting data from financial records into tax return software or databases
• Prepare federal and state tax returns for individuals and businesses (LLCs, C Corporations, Partnerships, S Corporations)
• Completing and filing tax documents with appropriate agencies, like the IRS, state and local government entities
• Acting as a representative for clients with applicable agencies as required
• Building customer relationships to promote and expand the business
• Responds to client communications via email, phone within 24 business hours

We are looking for someone who meets the following criteria:

• In-depth knowledge of applicable tax laws, regulations and deadlines
• Proficiency with common tax preparation, word processing and spreadsheet software applications
• Familiarity with the tax return submission and confirmation process, including how to navigate the IRS and other government entity online platforms
• Excellent customer service skills, including patience and flexibility
• Great organizational skills, including time management and strategic thinking
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Keen attention to detail
• Proficient in 1120, 1120S, 1065 and 1040 returns as well as accounting math and written and spoken English
• Accounting degree and background, well versed in small business tax accounting principles and concepts
• Have a valid Enrolled Agent certification and PTIN

The job is full time Monday to Friday year round- we have clients that need tax help at all times of the year! The start and end time are a bit flexible- we are on the west coast but have clients across the country and internationally, so business hours in your own time zone are fine. But this is NOT a completely flexible 40 hours "whenever" position as contact with the team and clients will require you are available during regular business hours.
