  • Stay current with tax laws and regulations relevant to assigned work.
  • Collaborate with other preparers, reviewers, and partners to ensure quality and consistency.
  • Maintain confidentiality and handle sensitive client information with professionalism.

Requirements

  • 5+ years (preferred) of experience preparing individual tax returns — public accounting or independent experience welcome.
  • CPA or EA certification preferred but not required.
  • Working knowledge of tax preparation software.
  • Excellent organizational and time management skills.
  • Effective verbal and written communication skills.
  • Strong attention to detail and accuracy.
  • Problem-solving and analytical thinking abilities.

Schedule

  • Part-time (starting at 20–25 hours per week, flexible scheduling).

Pay

$25.00 per hour - $50.00 per hour, based on experience — not commission-based.

Benefits

  • Flexible schedule ideal for work-life balance or re-entry into the workforce.
  • Collaborative, respectful team that values your expertise.
  • Opportunities for seasonal return each tax year.
  • Supportive, team-oriented environment — no sales.
