Strong working knowledge of individual and business tax forms, tax terminology, filing requirements, extensions, estimates, and tax-season processes. Demonstrated experience working with tax returns and related documents—not simply general administrative experience. Ability to recognize common tax forms and understand how documents and information flow through the tax preparation and filing process. Strong client service skills with the ability to communicate confidently and professionally with clients regarding tax processes, deadlines, documents, and next steps. Experience with tax preparation, workflow, document management, and client portal software; experience with CCH products is strongly preferred. Advanced proficiency with Adobe Acrobat and Microsoft Office, including Outlook, Word, and Excel. Exceptional organizational and project management skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines. Strong problem-solving skills and the judgment to independently resolve routine issues while recognizing when a matter should be escalated. High attention to detail and commitment to accuracy. Ability to maintain confidentiality when handling sensitive financial and client information. Ability to work extended hours during peak tax seasons as needed. Ability to work on-site.
