Job Description & How to Apply Below

We're not just an HR provider. As a Professional Employer Organization (PEO), we help businesses streamline operations by handling payroll and tax filings, workers' comp, employee benefits, and accounting — all in one place. One partner. Total back-office support.

We're hiring a Tax & Accounting Specialist who's sharp with numbers, dependable under deadlines, and genuinely excited to learn. This is an entry-level role with real room to grow — you'll support our accounting team with tax preparation, financial record keeping, and client account work, while picking up bookkeeping skills along the way.

What You'll Do
  • Assist with preparation of federal and state payroll tax returns for individuals and small businesses
  • Support month-end and year-end accounting close processes
  • Reconcile accounts, review transactions, and flag discrepancies for resolution
  • Maintain accurate financial records in Quick Books and internal systems
  • Prepare basic financial reports, summaries, and supporting schedules
  • Assist clients and internal teams with accounting questions and documentation requests
  • Keep organized, well-documented work files that meet accuracy and compliance standards
Who We're Looking For
  • You care deeply about getting numbers right — close enough isn't good enough for you
  • You're organized, deadline-driven, and don't let things fall through the cracks
  • You communicate clearly and aren't afraid to ask a question when something's unclear
  • You're a quick learner who's excited about building real-world accounting experience
  • You treat sensitive financial information with discretion and professionalism
  • You take ownership — when you're given a task, it gets done right and on time
What You Have
  • 1–2 years of experience in tax preparation, accounting, or a related role
  • Familiarity with Quick Books and Excel or Google Sheets
  • Strong attention to detail and comfort working with numbers and financial data
  • Basic understanding of tax concepts, accounting principles, or bookkeeping
  • Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field preferred — but not required with the right experience

Pay: Based on Experience

Why You'll Like It Here
  • Health Benefits (including Vision and Dental)
  • PTO
  • 401K
  • Paid Holidays
  • A team that's fun to work with — and serious about doing excellent work
