Tax Preparer

What We Do

Accountalent is a tax compliance and accounting firm serving startups of all sizes. Our core client base is C Corporations, and we have deep expertise in corporate tax compliance for growing and complex businesses.

As part of our continued growth, we are expanding our services to include S Corporations, LLCs, and individual taxpayers, allowing us to better support founders, owners, and closely held businesses.

We distinguish ourselves by focusing on client service, professionalism, integrity, and the strategic use of the latest technologies—rather than emphasizing rigid work schedules or locations. Our team specializes in delivering accurate, timely tax returns and providing proactive, high-quality support to our clients.

What We Need

We are seeking to hire an experienced US-based Senior Tax Professional with strong expertise in flow-through entities and individual taxation to support and grow this expanding area of our practice.

This is a client-facing role where you will serve as the primary point of contact for a portfolio primarily consisting of S Corps, LLCs, and individual clients.

While Accountalent’s foundation is in C Corporation work, C Corp exposure in this role will be limited and opportunistic—providing learning opportunities but not serving as a core responsibility.

You will manage the tax compliance process from start to finish — including data gathering, workpaper preparation, extensions, review, and delivery of returns — and serve as a trusted resource to your clients.
