Job Title: Remote Senior Accountant - Small Business Tax & Accounting

Job ID: 1045542

Date Posted: September 22, 2026

Employment Type: Full-time

Hiring Company: Confidential

Location: US Remote
Applicants must be located in the United States and available during EST business hours.

Base Salary: $70,000–$85,000 per year (USD)
Commensurate with experience.

Role Summary
We are a growing CPA firm—not a corporate accounting department—looking for an experienced public accountant who loves working with small business owners. This isn't just about processing transactions; it's about taking ownership of client relationships and helping entrepreneurs succeed. If you've "been in the trenches" of a CPA firm and enjoy a mix of tax, high-level bookkeeping, and advisory work in a flexible, remote setting, you’ll fit right in.

Key Responsibilities

Tax Delivery: Independently prepare business (1120S, 1065) and individual (1040) returns and assist with proactive year-round tax planning.

Full-Cycle Accounting: Manage monthly bookkeeping, payroll, sales tax, and financial reporting for a dedicated group of clients.

The "Detective" Work: Take the lead on complex cleanup projects, turning disorganized records into clean, actionable financials.

Client Connection: Serve as the primary point of contact for your clients, answering their questions and leading them through onboarding with a helpful, expert touch.

Advisory Support: Assist with budgeting and financial analysis to help clients understand their "numbers" better.

Qualifications/Requirements

The Right Experience: 4+ years in a CPA firm or public practice (Corporate-only experience is not a fit for this role).

Tax Skills: You can prepare small business and individual returns from start to finish without hand-holding.

Tech Savvy: Advanced QuickBooks Online skills and experience with professional tax software (e.g., Drake, Lacerte, or UltraTax).

The Mindset: You enjoy "messy" books, love solving problems, and communicate clearly with non-accountants.

Certification: Already a CPA/EA or actively working toward your license.

Compensation & Growth
This isn't a dead-end staff position; you are helping build a firm alongside the owner in a culture that values quality over quantity. We focus on doing excellent work for the right clients rather than churning through volume.

Flexibility & Balance: Truly remote work with a trust-based, flexible PTO policy and sustainable "busy season" hours.

Full Benefits: Monthly health insurance stipend, 401(k) with employer match, internet reimbursement, and a home office setup budget.

Investment in You: We cover full CPA/EA exam materials and fees, provide an annual CE allowance, and offer direct mentorship.

Modern Culture: Collaborative environment with zero hierarchy and access to the latest cloud-based software and technology.
