Tax Preparer Seasonal FullTime During Peak Season

Job Description

Tax Preparer (Seasonal – Full-Time During Peak Season)

Waller or Hempstead, TX | In-Office | Opportunity to Grow

Let’s be upfront.

This is not a role for someone who wants a rigid 9–5 schedule year-round. And it’s not a role for someone who rushes through returns just to push volume.

It is a great fit for a tax professional who values accuracy, accountability, and systems, and who is comfortable working with clients when questions arise.
