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.
