About This Role

This is a remote accounting and tax preparation role supporting U.S. clients. We are looking for someone with strong bookkeeping fundamentals, advanced working knowledge of QuickBooks Online, and hands-on experience preparing Form 1120S business tax returns directly in Drake Tax Software.

This is not a basic data-entry role. The successful candidate must be able to review financial information critically, recognize when transactions or balances do not make sense, investigate discrepancies, and use prior-year information to determine whether current entries are reasonable.

• Review current financial activity against prior-year information and identify unusual or inconsistent transactions
• Investigate discrepancies rather than simply categorizing or processing transactions
• Verify that tax entries and financial information are reasonable and properly supported
• Communicate questions, discrepancies, and potential accounting issues clearly to the team
• Follow established workflows while exercising appropriate accounting judgment
• Maintain accuracy and meet deadlines during peak tax periods
