Our firm is looking to hire a seasonal tax preparer who would be able to work with us on a recurring basis.
The ideal candidate is not looking for a full-time job, is looking to maintain their tax skills and is looking for flexibility in hours and compensation. This would be perfect for those who want to keep busy without being overwhelmed with responsibility.
We are looking for more hours during tax season, starting mid Feb thru mid April, and then periodic check-ins during the rest of the year to attend to phone calls and/or extended returns.
Primary responsibilities would include:
- Completion of tax returns assigned
- Quick reviews with the CPA in charge of the return
- No client contact needed right now, maybe needed eventually
- Timely completion of work and following office systems carefully
- Multiple years of experience with 1040s [corporates and trust returns not required, a plus if you have that experience]
REQUIRED:
- Must have multiple years of familiarity with Schedules A, B, and more complex Schedule C, D, E etc.
- Familiarity with Obamacare, capital gains, passive activities and complex K-1s
- Familiarity with college credits and compliance regarding those college items
Skills: We are looking for a very specific type of candidate. If you have no experience with taxes or are looking to learn about taxes, please do not apply. Finance majors with no work experience and corporate accounting/controllers with no tax experience please do not apply.
- Experience with tax software preferred [We use UltraTax - can be taught]
- Detail-oriented and precise
- Working harmoniously within a team environment is extremely important
