Join Our Team: Tax Preparers (All Levels)

Onsite at Loeffler Financial Group | Lancaster, PA
January – April (Seasonal, with Year-Round Opportunities for Experienced Candidates)

Who We Are

Since 2001, Loeffler Financial Group has been helping individuals and businesses across 25 states navigate tax season with confidence. We’re a family-owned, full-service financial firm built on accuracy, trust, and client success.

At LFG, tax season isn’t just a job — it’s a mission to deliver clarity and peace of mind. We’re growing, and we’re looking for both entry-level and experienced tax preparers to join our winning team.

Why This Role Stands Out

Not all tax roles are created equal. At LFG, you’ll get:

  • Support from seasoned tax advisors and management — you’ll never be left guessing.
  • Opportunities to grow — whether you start with W-2s and 1040s or dive right into S-corps and partnerships.
  • Impact — your work directly helps clients, not just software screens.

This is your chance to join a respected firm where your skills are valued, your future is supported, and your contributions matter.

What You’ll Do

Depending on your experience, you’ll:

For W-2 / 1040 Preparers (Entry-Level & Intermediate):

  • Prepare individual tax returns (Form 1040 with W-2s and standard credits/deductions)
  • Review client documents for accuracy and completeness
  • Apply credits such as Earned Income Credit and Child Tax Credit
  • Communicate with clients to gather and verify information

For Experienced Tax Preparers (Advanced Returns):

  • Prepare more complex returns including:
  • Schedule C (sole proprietorships)
  • Schedule E (rental/investment properties)
  • Business returns (1120, 1120-S, 1065)
  • Analyze data, identify planning opportunities, and resolve tax issues
  • Collaborate with senior advisors on advanced client matters

What You Bring

Minimum Qualifications (All Candidates):

  • At least 1 year of tax preparation experience (individual income tax)
  • Strong attention to detail and organizational skills
  • Solid communication skills — comfortable with both clients and team members
  • High school diploma required; accounting/tax coursework a plus
  • Familiarity with Microsoft Office and tax prep software
  • Availability January through April (extensions possible)

Additional for Experienced Candidates:

  • 2–3 years of professional tax preparation experience
  • Hands-on experience with Schedule C, Schedule E, 1120, 1120-S, 1065
  • Accounting degree, EA, or CPA preferred (but not required)

What We Offer

✔ Competitive pay (based on experience & return complexity)
✔ Seasonal schedules with potential for year-round hours for advanced preparers
✔ 401(k) with company match (for year-round team members)
✔ Paid time off (for year-round team members)
✔ Supportive, professional, and collaborative team environment
✔ Real growth opportunities within a respected, expanding firm
