JOB OVERVIEW

Part-Time Ramp-Up to Full-Time | Future Tax Advisor Opportunity

Company: Phaenix Advisory
Compensation: Up to USD $1,000 per month, based on experience
Start date: October or November 2026
Term: Part-Time Oct-December, Full-time through May 2027, with the possibility of becoming a permanent position
Schedule: At least 4–5 working hours of overlap with U.S. Pacific Time

About the role
Phaenix Advisory is seeking an experienced U.S. Tax Accountant to join us initially on a part-time basis beginning in October 2026. From October through December, the successful candidate will learn our business, clients, systems, tax processes, and quality standards. This ramp-up period will include training, reviewing prior-year returns, becoming familiar with our real-estate clients, and working in our technology stack, including ProConnect and TaxDome.

The position will transition to full-time from January through May 2027 for the U.S. tax season. Strong performance may lead to a permanent, long-term position with increasing client responsibility and the opportunity to grow into a tax advisor role.
This is a hands-on tax role for someone who can prepare accurate returns, identify missing or inconsistent information, maintain organized workpapers, and communicate clearly with reviewers and clients. We are looking for more than a data-entry tax preparer: the right person will demonstrate sound judgment, take ownership of their work, and have the potential to grow into a client-facing tax advisor.

What you’ll do
- Prepare U.S. federal and state income tax returns for individuals and businesses.
- Work on tax returns involving rental properties and real-estate investors.
- Review client documents and identify missing, inconsistent, or questionable information.
- Prepare clear, organized workpapers and completion notes.
- Research routine U.S. tax questions and present your findings clearly.
- Respond to review comments accurately and avoid repeating corrected mistakes.
- Communicate professionally with the team and, as the role develops, directly with clients.
- Help improve tax-preparation checklists, templates, and internal workflows.
- Gradually develop the judgment and communication skills needed to support tax planning and advisory work.
Required qualifications
- At least three years of hands-on U.S. tax preparation experience.
- Practical experience preparing tax returns
- Strong understanding of U.S. individual and business taxation.
- Strong written and spoken English.
- Excellent attention to detail and commitment to accurate work.
- Ability to investigate issues, form a reasonable conclusion, and ask focused questions when review is needed.
- Ability to work full-time with at least 4–5 hours of daily overlap with U.S. Pacific Time.
- Reliable, strong internet connection and a professional remote-work environment.
- Ability to manage deadlines and work independently in a remote setting.

Preferred qualifications
- Experience using Intuit ProConnect Tax & TaxDome
- Experience with Forms 1040, 1065, and 1120-S, including Schedule E, depreciation, and property dispositions.
- Experience communicating directly with U.S. clients.
- Experience supporting tax planning or explaining tax matters in plain English.
- Thoughtful use of approved AI tools for research, drafting, documentation, or workflow improvement.
- Understanding of the need to verify AI-generated work and protect confidential client information.

What success looks like
A successful candidate will produce accurate, well-supported work, raise issues early, and make review easy. Over time, this person should require less supervision, communicate confidently with clients, and develop from a strong tax preparer into a trusted tax advisor.

How to apply
Please submit your résumé and answer the following questions:
1. How many years of hands-on U.S. tax preparation experience do you have?
2. Which U.S. tax returns and forms have you personally prepared?
3. Describe your experience preparing returns for real-estate investors or rental-property owners.
4. Which professional tax software have you used, and for how long?
5. Can you work full-time with at least 4–5 hours of overlap with U.S. Pacific Time?
6. Describe one tax issue you identified that was not obvious from the client’s documents. What did you do?
7. How have you used AI in tax or accounting work, and how did you verify the output?
