- Collect tax documentation from clients (W-2s, financial statements, etc.).
- Input and review data in Lacerte tax software.
- Communicate proactively with clients regarding filing status and required documentation.
- Oversee and mentor junior tax preparers, providing support and review of their work.
- Serve as the relationship manager throughout the return process.
- Build strong client relationships to promote retention and growth.
- Maintain organized files and manage multiple clients simultaneously.
- 5–7 years of experience in tax return preparation and review.
- Strong knowledge of a broad range of tax return types.
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office, Google Drive, and Adobe Acrobat.
- Experience with Lacerte (preferred).
- Excellent communication and client-service skills.
- Strong organizational skills and the ability to multitask.
- EA required ; CPA or JD (with license to practice law) is a plus.
- Experience managing at least one direct report.
