Part-Time CPA /EA Tax Accountant (US Business Tax Returns) 🧾📊

Company Overview

Our client is a finance and advisory firm that supports founders, CEOs, and CFOs with outsourced accounting, tax, and financial operations.

They work with businesses and individuals across industries — including real estate, SaaS, and investment firms — helping them manage bookkeeping, tax compliance, and financial reporting without building a full in-house team.

Because the work directly impacts tax compliance, financial accuracy, and client outcomes, precision and reliability are critical. Mistakes here don’t just create internal issues — they can affect filings, liabilities, and client trust.

Your Role

We’re hiring a CPA / EA Tax Accountant to support US business tax returns (e.g., Forms 1120, 1120S, and 1065) for a Part-Time position to start (5-10hr/week), with the possibility of transitioning to full-time down the road.

This is an execution-focused role. You’ll work closely with senior tax professionals and be responsible for preparing returns, organizing client documentation, and supporting filings with a high level of accuracy.

This is not a strategy-heavy or advisory role — the focus is on doing the work well, consistently, and on time.

Strong communication is essential. You’ll be working in a remote team supporting US-based clients, so clarity and responsiveness matter.

You’ll:

• Prepare US business tax returns (e.g., 1120 / 1120S / 1065) under supervision

• Work from client financials (trial balance, general ledger) and supporting workpapers (depreciation schedules, K-1s, book-to-tax adjustments, etc.)

• Support tax filings and compliance processes (including extensions and state filings as applicable)

• Organize and review client financial documentation

• Assist senior accountants with tax preparation and deliverables

• Ensure documentation is complete, accurate, and audit-ready

• Track deadlines and support timely submissions during tax cycles

• Communicate clearly with internal teams on progress, blockers, and updates

You Bring:

• 2–5+ years of experience in accounting or tax roles

• 3-5 years with a completed CPA or EA certificate

• Hands-on experience with US business tax returns (1120 / 1120S / 1065 or similar)

• Strong understanding of business tax basics (entity structures, income/expenses, depreciation, deductions, credits)

• Good written and spoken English (critical for this role)

• High attention to detail and accuracy

• Ability to follow structured processes and meet deadlines

• Comfort working in a remote, distributed team

Bonus Points:

• Experience working with US-based clients or firms

• Experience in tax season environments (high volume of returns)

• Familiarity with tools like QuickBooks, tax software, or Excel

• Experience with multi-entity clients (multiple returns, consolidations, or partnership allocations)

• Exposure to industries like real estate, SaaS, or investment funds

What’s Offered:

• Fully remote contractor role

• Work aligned with U.S. business hours (overlap required)

• Competitive USD compensation (based on experience)

• 20 days PTO + U.S. holidays

• High exposure to US tax work and real-world client scenarios

• Opportunity to grow within a fast-moving finance team

🔴 Important Note

This role requires strong English communication and real experience with US business tax returns (e.g., 1120 / 1120S / 1065).

Candidates without hands-on experience preparing business returns or with limited communication ability will not be considered.
