Business Tax Preparer - Remote - $30-$35/Hour

We are looking for an experienced Business Tax Preparer in Kansas City to work remotely with our bookkeeping team. This role is focused primarily on preparing business tax returns for small and midsized businesses in Kansas City.

You will have support from our bookkeeping staff, including an employee who will assist with client data collection, document requests, and gathering information needed to prepare the returns. Our goal is for the tax preparer to spend their time reviewing the financials, making necessary tax adjustments, and completing accurate returns rather than chasing clients for documents.

Responsibilities

• Prepare S Corporation (1120-S), Partnership (1065), and C Corporation (1120) tax returns
• Prepare business owner personal tax returns
• Review client financial statements and bookkeeping records before preparing returns
• Identify tax adjustments and additional information needed
• Work with our bookkeeping team to resolve accounting questions
• Review prior-year returns and maintain consistency where appropriate
• Prepare accurate federal and applicable state business tax returns
• Communicate clearly with our internal team regarding missing information or tax issues

Qualifications

• Prior professional experience preparing business tax returns
• Strong experience with 1120-S and 1065 returns
• Understanding of business tax deductions, depreciation, basis, distributions, owner compensation, and common small-business tax issues
• Comfortable reviewing QuickBooks financial statements and general ledger activity
• Ability to work independently and meet tax deadlines
• Strong attention to detail
• PTIN required
• EA or CPA is a plus, but not required for an experienced preparer

Compensation

$30–$35 per hour equivalent based on experience.

The position will ultimately be structured with compensation based on completed tax returns rather than hourly billing. The per-return compensation will be established based on the type and complexity of the returns.

Work Arrangement

This is a remote position. You will work directly with our bookkeeping and accounting team, and our staff will assist with gathering client documents and information so you can focus primarily on tax preparation.

We are looking for someone interested in developing an ongoing relationship with our firm and handling business tax returns on a recurring basis each tax season.
