About The Position

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. We’re hiring a CPA / Tax Accountant to support US individual tax preparation (Form 1040). 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.
