United Pro Tax is recruiting now for two part-time tax preparers to join our Washington, DC office for the 2027 tax season. We are interviewing candidates now, with training beginning soon and paid preparer positions starting in January.

We’re looking for dependable, detail-oriented people who enjoy helping others and want to develop their skills in taxation. Prior tax-preparation experience is preferred, but strong candidates with backgrounds in accounting, banking, bookkeeping or client service are encouraged to apply.

Exceptional performers may be considered for full-time opportunities, including potential year-round employment, based on performance and business needs.

Why join United Pro Tax?

Training and hiring process

We are selecting candidates for an upcoming unpaid pre-employment training program. From participating trainees, we plan to hire two part-time preparers for January 2027.

Training participation and completion do not guarantee employment. Hiring decisions will consider demonstrated understanding, accuracy, communication, professionalism, attendance and readiness to serve clients.

The $20–$22 hourly rate applies to paid employment after hiring, not to the unpaid training program. Training dates, schedule and time commitment will be provided before candidates decide whether to participate.
