Patton Accounting & Tax, PLLC Hiring for Remote Tax Preparer Job at Remote Full Time

We know this looks long, but we promise it’s worth the read!

—

We’re looking to hire!!

(Which is probably pretty obvious otherwise this post wouldn’t exist….)

A LITTLE ABOUT US:

Patton Accounting & Tax, PLLC is a remote accounting firm that serves clients across the states. We offer accounting and tax services to small business owners. We work mostly with online entrepreneurs and beauty professionals. We are growing quickly and would love to hire someone interested in growing with us.

A LITTLE ABOUT THE ROLE:

Role – tax preparer:

– We are looking for someone who is friendly, communicative, eager to learn, detail-oriented, and hard-working

– As a tax preparer you will be expected to prepare 1040, 1065, and 1120S tax returns based off information given to you by the client. You will be expected to communicate with the client and ask them clarifying questions in order to help you preparer the return. Prior experience with tax preparation is required.

– Basic knowledge of QuickBooks Online is helpful as most of our clients use QBO for their bookkeeping (training can be provided)

– We use CCH Axcess for tax preparation. Experience with this software is a plus but definitely not required.

– We are looking for someone who has the ability to multi task and stay calm while juggling multiple projects.

– Since this is a remote position and all work is done virtually via computer access it is important that you are tech savvy and have a high degree of computer literacy.

– Excellent written and verbal communication skills are expected.

– The hours of this position are rather flexible. We need someone who can offer a minimum of 20 hours/week during busy season or a maximum of 40 hours/week during busy season. We are open to hiring someone part-time, full-time, or seasonal. We are more focused on hiring the person vs simply filing a role. If you are the right fit, we will adapt the role to your needs.

– This position is 100% remote so an at-home work space is required. You will be reimbursed for your home office, office equipment, and business use of your cell phone and internet.

– Starting pay: $17-22/hour DOE (pay will continue to increase as our firm grows and as you grow in your role here)

– Since we deal with sensitive client information, background checks will be performed before you can be hired

We expect you will manage somewhere between 5-15 tax returns/week during busy season. All returns will be reviewed by two different managers to ensure accuracy. It is important that you care about our clients and put time into understanding their businesses. Your job is to make their life easier.

A LITTLE ABOUT THE CULTURE:

Skills can always be taught which is why culture and vibes are everything to us during the interview process.

We are looking for someone who we want to spend time with and who our clients would look forward to talking to. We want someone who is honest, friendly, and easy to get along with. We are looking for someone who communicates clearly and openly.

Work comes second to family and life so we believe in boundaries, dreams, and ambitions outside of work. You will often see babies on our meetings because everyone on our current team is moms and we happen to work with a lot of moms. Boundaries and clear expectations are very important to us. Flexible work hours (aka working during nap times and evening and weekends) are a given.

If any of this resonates with you, we’d love for you to apply!
