We are working with a boutique CPA firm focused on personalized accounting, tax preparation, and advisory support for small businesses and individuals. The practice values a relationship-driven approach, clear communication, and professionals who take ownership of their work. This is a fully remote opportunity with a team that trusts strong performers to deliver without constant oversight.
About the RoleThis is a fully remote Tax Senior role for someone who prepares tax returns at a high standard, stays responsive with clients, and can help manage client relationships at a senior level. It is a hands-on senior position with room to grow for a high-character preparer who may become a long-term leader in the firm.
The ideal candidate is responsible, committed, and reliable. You prepare returns well, follow through without needing constant follow-up, and give the firm confidence that work is moving forward.
Key Responsibilities- Prepare individual and business tax returns with accuracy and ownership through seasonal deadlines

- Own assigned work end to end so leadership can trust the process without constant check-ins
- Stay current on relevant tax law changes and apply them thoughtfully across your book of work
This is a remote position.

- Proven experience preparing tax returns; comfort with both individual and business returns is a plus
- CPA preferred but not required; candidates who are not yet licensed are welcome
- Experience with Thomson Reuters Ultra Tax and Onvio preferred; strong candidates who can learn the stack quickly will be considered
- High reliability, ownership, and communication are hard filters: you follow through, stay responsive, and do not need constant supervision
