Our firm is seeking a tax preparer with experience preparing complex individual (1040) and entity (1120, 1065, 1041) tax returns. Proficiency in financial accounting is essential. Salary and benefits will be commensurate with skills and experience. This is an in-office position; candidates wishing to work remotely need not apply.

While limited overtime (generally 5 hours per week during peak weeks in March, April, September, and October) may be necessary during peak deadline weeks, we strive to manage the workload so that employees may maintain a work/life balance. Our goal is to serve our clients to the best of our abilities while treating each employee as a valued part of our work family, treating each client and employee as an individual rather than a cog in a corporate machine.

Medical insurance is provided; dental, vision, and accident/disability insurance are available but not employer-covered.

Responsibilities include:

• Tax interviews and preparation (1040, 1065, 1120, and 1120S, 1041) - this includes working with source documents, ledgers, and/or computerized financial records provided by the client to create tax return workpapers
• Tax planning

• Retirement plan (SIMPLE IRA)
• Paid vacation and holidays
• Life insurance
• Medical insurance benefits
