Experienced Seasonal Tax Preparer

Graham Financial Group | Springfield, Missouri

January–April | In-Office | Flexible Schedule | Commission-Based Compensation

Join a firm where your experience is valued.

Graham Financial Group is an established Springfield CPA and tax firm looking for an experienced tax preparer to join our team for the 2027 tax season.

We're a close-knit group of highly experienced professionals who take our work seriously without taking ourselves too seriously. We believe in treating our employees like professionals, providing the support they need, and giving them the independence to do their jobs well.

We're looking for someone who enjoys working directly with clients, takes ownership of their work, and appreciates a friendly, collaborative atmosphere without unnecessary bureaucracy or micromanagement.

• Competitive, production-based compensation:
  Earn 30% commission on all tax preparation revenue.
• Flexible scheduling:
  Enjoy considerable control over your schedule while maintaining regular availability during office hours.
• Professional independence:
  Manage client relationships and tax preparation assignments without constant oversight.
• Experienced, supportive coworkers:
  Work alongside knowledgeable professionals who enjoy helping one another succeed.
• Paid holidays and retirement plan:
  Available subject to eligibility.
• Seasonal flexibility:
  Primarily January through April, with potential for additional work throughout the year.
• Long-term opportunities:
  We welcome outstanding seasonal employees back each year, with opportunities for advancement for the right individual.

• Meet and interview clients to gather tax information and discuss their needs.
• Independently prepare and complete federal and state individual and business income tax returns, including partnerships and S corporations.
• Manage returns from initial client contact through completion and filing.
• Research tax questions, identify potential issues, and help clients resolve tax-related problems.
• Communicate professionally with clients and coworkers throughout the preparation process.
• Maintain the accuracy, confidentiality, and high professional standards our clients expect.

• Ideally, you'll have 5+ years of professional tax preparation experience and feel comfortable independently managing a variety of tax returns and client situations.
• CPA or Enrolled Agent credentials are a plus, as is experience with Lacerte tax preparation software.
• However, credentials and specific software experience are not deal breakers. We value practical experience, sound judgment, strong communication skills, and a commitment to excellent client service.
• You will be required to have a current, valid IRS Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN). Graham Financial Group will cover the associated fees.

This is a seasonal, in-office W-2 position beginning in January 2027.

Expect approximately 40–60 hours per week during the busiest part of tax season. We offer considerable scheduling flexibility, with regular daytime office availability important for serving clients, including walk-ins.

Compensation is based on a 30% commission on qualifying tax preparation revenue. Earnings vary based on the volume and nature of work performed.

Additional work may be available outside the traditional tax season, depending on client needs.

If you're an experienced tax preparer looking for a professional, enjoyable workplace where your contributions are recognized and your independence is respected, we'd love to hear from you.
