AI Summary

Prepare US business tax returns including Forms 1120, 1120S, and 1065 using client financials and workpapers. Support tax filings, compliance processes, and ensure all documentation is accurate and audit-ready.

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 / 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

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

  • CPA (completed or in progress preferred) or EA

  • 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.
