Part-Time CPA /EA Tax Accountant (US Business Tax Returns) 🧾📊 – Remote
Atomic HR · 26 days ago
Company Overview
Our client is a finance and advisory firm that supports founders, CEOs, and CFOs with outsourced accounting, tax, and financial operations.
They work with businesses and individuals across industries — including real estate, SaaS, and investment firms — helping them manage bookkeeping, tax compliance, and financial reporting without building a full in-house team.
Because the work directly impacts tax compliance, financial accuracy, and client outcomes, precision and reliability are critical. Mistakes here don’t just create internal issues — they can affect filings, liabilities, and client trust.
Your Role
We’re hiring a CPA / EA Tax Accountant to support US business tax returns (e.g., Forms 1120, 1120S, and 1065) for a Part-Time position to start (5-10hr/week), with the possibility of transitioning to full-time down the road.
This is an execution-focused role. You’ll work closely with senior tax professionals and be responsible for preparing returns, organizing client documentation, and supporting filings with a high level of accuracy.
This is not a strategy-heavy or advisory role — the focus is on doing the work well, consistently, and on time.
Strong communication is essential. You’ll be working in a remote team supporting US-based clients, so clarity and responsiveness matter.
You’ll:
-
Prepare US business tax returns (e.g., 1120 / 1120S / 1065) under supervision
-
Work from client financials (trial balance, general ledger) and supporting workpapers (depreciation schedules, K-1s, book-to-tax adjustments, etc.)
-
Support tax filings and compliance processes (including extensions and state filings as applicable)
-
Organize and review client financial documentation
-
Assist senior accountants with tax preparation and deliverables
-
Ensure documentation is complete, accurate, and audit-ready
-
Track deadlines and support timely submissions during tax cycles
-
Communicate clearly with internal teams on progress, blockers, and updates
You Bring:
-
2–5+ years of experience in accounting or tax roles
-
3-5 years with a completed CPA or EA certificate
-
Hands-on experience with US business tax returns (1120 / 1120S / 1065 or similar)
-
Strong understanding of business tax basics (entity structures, income/expenses, depreciation, deductions, credits)
-
Good written and spoken English (critical for this role)
-
High attention to detail and accuracy
-
Ability to follow structured processes and meet deadlines
-
Comfort working in a remote, distributed team
Bonus Points:
-
Experience working with US-based clients or firms
-
Experience in tax season environments (high volume of returns)
-
Familiarity with tools like QuickBooks, tax software, or Excel
-
Experience with multi-entity clients (multiple returns, consolidations, or partnership allocations)
-
Exposure to industries like real estate, SaaS, or investment funds
What’s Offered:
-
Fully remote contractor role
-
Work aligned with U.S. business hours (overlap required)
-
Competitive USD compensation (based on experience)
-
20 days PTO + U.S. holidays
-
High exposure to US tax work and real-world client scenarios
-
Opportunity to grow within a fast-moving finance team

🔴 Important Note
