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

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.

High attention to detail and accuracy

Ability to follow structured processes and meet deadlines

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

Interview Process

🔴 Important Note

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