About the Role
Tax preparation is about much more than completing forms. For many people, filing taxes is the single biggest financial event of the year — and often one of the most stressful. In this role, you will provide expert tax preparation services while delivering exceptional customer care every step of the way.
Key Responsibilities
Prepare and complete accurate tax returns for clients, including:
Multiyear returns
Multistate returns
Year-end tax forms
Explain tax forms, processes, and filing requirements clearly and professionally
Conduct in-person tax interviews with clients
Provide IRS audit support to clients
Complete e-filing processes and ensure returns are reviewed, signed, and submitted to the IRS and state agencies
Print and review completed returns with clients
Answer client calls through the national call center routing system
Respond to tax-related questions and provide timely future tax planning guidance
Collect and process client payments while ensuring timely deposits
Support local marketing and business development efforts
Help grow the business by increasing client retention and offering additional products and services
Work collaboratively with team members to support office priorities
Mentor and guide teammates, and in some situations act as a lead
This role involves regular access to sensitive and highly confidential information, so professionalism, discretion, and a strong understanding of business practices are essential.
