JOB OVERVIEW

Remote Accounting & U.S. Tax Preparation Assistant

Part-Time | Remote | Long-Term Opportunity

We are seeking an experienced and dependable Remote Accounting & U.S. Tax Preparation Assistant to support a growing U.S.-based tax and accounting firm.

This position is ideal for someone with hands-on experience in U.S. bookkeeping, payroll, and federal income tax preparation for both individuals and businesses. We are looking for more than basic data-entry experience—the right candidate should understand accounting principles and how accurate bookkeeping flows into tax preparation.

Responsibilities May Include:

* Preparing U.S. individual income tax returns (Form 1040)
* Assisting with or preparing U.S. business tax returns, including:
* S Corporations – Form 1120-S
* Partnerships/LLCs – Form 1065
* C Corporations – Form 1120
* Reviewing tax documents and identifying missing information
* Assisting with tax workpapers and year-end adjustments
* QuickBooks Online bookkeeping and account maintenance
* Bank and credit card reconciliations
* Reviewing and properly categorizing transactions
* Preparing and reviewing Profit & Loss Statements and Balance Sheets
* Payroll processing and payroll reporting
* Assisting with quarterly payroll tax filings and reporting
* Assisting with quarterly estimated tax calculations
* Year-end bookkeeping cleanup and preparation for tax returns
* Maintaining organized and accurate client financial records
* Communicating questions or discrepancies that require further review

Qualifications:

* Hands-on experience preparing U.S. individual and business income tax returns
* Strong understanding of Form 1040 and common individual tax schedules
* Experience with Form 1120-S and/or Form 1065 strongly preferred
* Experience with Form 1120 is a plus
* Strong experience with QuickBooks Online
* Knowledge of U.S. bookkeeping and accounting practices
* Understanding of U.S. payroll and payroll tax requirements
* Familiarity with quarterly estimated taxes
* Ability to review financial statements and recognize potential bookkeeping or tax issues
* Strong attention to detail and commitment to accuracy
* Excellent written English and communication skills
* Ability to work independently and meet deadlines
* Comfortable handling highly confidential financial and taxpayer information

Strong Plus:

Experience using Intuit ProSeries Professional Tax software is highly preferred.

Experience working with U.S. tax/accounting firms, including preparing returns during tax season, would also be a significant advantage.

What We’re Looking For

We are looking for someone interested in becoming a long-term member of our team who can grow into greater responsibility.

The right candidate should be comfortable working with bookkeeping throughout the year and then understanding how those financial records ultimately flow into U.S. individual and business income tax returns.

Accuracy, confidentiality, dependability, and the ability to recognize when something does not look correct are extremely important for this position.
