• Very computer literate.
• Multi-tasking GURU!

Have you been doing a mental checkoff as you read each item? COOL! We may have just the opportunity for you! But, if 1040, 1040A, 1120, 1120S, 1165, 990, 1099, W-2, and Schedule C is foreign to you, then this is not your gig.

• Prepare drafts of tax returns, Audits, Reviews and Compilations.

• Electronically file returns in UltraTax after receipt of signed Efile forms and engagement letters.

• Assign projects/tasks to Admin/Acctg Assistant.
• Process billing reports and distribute to appropriate reviewers.
• Create and send invoicing monthly.
• Oversee Billing processes for all offices.
• Plus more that is too much for this ad but happy to discuss in an interview.

So, what are we looking for in a qualified candidate?

The most qualified candidate will have experience working in a Public Accounting Firm and understands tax forms and how to do a 1040 tax return.

If you have your high school or equivalent diploma that’s a start. An Associate's in Business or Accounting would be a plus. You need to have worked in a CPA firm and have processed tax returns with strong familiarity of how a tax return is prepared for 3 years minimum.

We are looking for someone who is professional, positive, and dependable. We have somewhat of a laidback culture here but we are still a professional business and expect people to perform and present themselves in a professional manner. OH! And, be a nice person who can work independently, be self motivated, and also work collaboratively. Is that really too much to ask?

What about salary and benefits?

This is a full time position. Depending upon the amount of experience one has will determine the wage offered.

As part of your total compensation package, we offer a full array of benefits. They include paid holidays, paid time off (PTO), paid health, dental, vision, life and disability insurance plus more. We have a summer and fall special schedule with Friday’s off.
