About the Position

We are seeking an experienced Seasonal Tax Preparer to join our team during tax season. This role is ideal for a tax professional who enjoys the technical side of tax preparation and prefers a focused work environment without the distractions of client meetings, phone calls, or sales responsibilities.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys coming into the office and producing high-quality work in a professional, productivity-focused environment.

If you're the type of person who finds satisfaction in efficiently moving through tax returns, solving tax issues, and maintaining a high level of accuracy, this position was designed with you in mind. If you're looking for a role where you can make an immediate impact during tax season, we'd love to hear from you.

· Review client-provided financial records, tax documents, and supporting information for completeness and accuracy.

· Identify discrepancies, missing information, and potential tax issues requiring further review.

· Apply current federal and state tax laws to ensure compliance and accurate reporting.

· Organize and maintain electronic workpapers and supporting documentation.

· Meet established deadlines and productivity expectations during peak tax season.

· Collaborate with internal team members to resolve technical tax questions and return preparation issues.

· Maintain strict confidentiality regarding taxpayer information.

Qualifications

· Previous professional tax preparation experience, preferred.

· Strong knowledge of federal and state tax regulations, preferred.

· Experience preparing a variety of tax returns, including individual and business returns, preferred.

· Proficiency with professional tax preparation software, preferred.

· Exceptional attention to detail and commitment to accuracy.

· Ability to thrive in a deadline-driven environment during busy season.

Education:

· Bachelors in related field

Experience:

· Experience in public accounting or tax preparation
