What are the responsibilities and job description for the Tax Preparer (Norwell, MA) position at Joseph Cahill & Associates Inc?
Our firm seeks to hire a tax preparer and we are willing to train. The skill set we are most looking for are communication, great attitude, and willingness to have a meaningful impact to the team and to our clients.
A career in tax preparation has a seasonal component to it. We have tax season and the rest of the year.
As a trainee during the off-season, your position would include administrative duties, assisting senior preparers, marketing, and mentoring & training. Administrative duties would include fielding phone calls and emails. Assisting preparers includes data entry and tax return assembly. We prepare a lot of out marketing in-house because it allows us to keep our staffing up during our slower months in November and December. We will also train you to prepare taxes and provide supportive mentoring so that you too can become a highly skilled professional. Our training process has been to assign work to you that is progressively more difficult and to provide you with real-time feedback so that you can grow and develop into a skilled preparer. This time of year offers flexibility and a very laid back environment.
Tax season is much more regimented and fast paced. We assign work that is slightly easier than what you have been training with so that you have an easier time with the additional hours and volume. There will be about 6 weeks that work is extremely demanding and stressful.
NPR recently reported that 75% of accountants reached retirement age in 2020. With that in mind, our industry has lots of opportunity for growth and we do have a partnership track for the right individuals.
We cannot teach great attitude. We cannot teach a desire to have a meaningful impact. We can teach you how to prepare taxes, we can mentor you into becoming an Enrolled Agent, and we want you to grow to be a superstar accountant.
