Senior Tax Preparer/Reviewer

About This Opportunity

We are representing a confidential accounting firm seeking a Senior Tax Preparer/Reviewer for a full-time, fully remote position. This is a year-round role designed for an experienced tax professional who excels at preparing complex returns, reviewing technical tax work, and mentoring other preparers.

Our client operates in a modern, paperless environment and serves a specialized client base across the U.S. and Canada. You'll work as a technical leader within their tax department, preparing and reviewing sophisticated individual and business returns while helping strengthen the skills and consistency of the entire team.

This is not a seasonal position—it's a stable, ongoing career opportunity for someone who takes pride in accuracy, enjoys solving complex tax issues, and wants to make a meaningful impact on both clients and colleagues.

Responsibilities

As Senior Tax Preparer/Reviewer, you will:

• Prepare and review complex federal and multi-state individual and business tax returns, including sophisticated issues involving Schedules C, E, D/8949, passive activity loss rules, Section 199A/QBI calculations, K-1 reporting, basis tracking, AMT, NIIT, and estimated tax projections
• Handle partnership and S corporation taxation matters including inside/outside basis, capital accounts, guaranteed payments, shareholder basis limitations, reasonable compensation analysis, and distribution ordering
• Navigate multi-state taxation complexities including residency, nonresident allocation, nexus, apportionment, and state-specific adjustments
• Perform technical reviews of returns prepared by team members, identifying substantive tax treatment issues beyond software diagnostics
• Research complex tax questions using primary authority including the IRC, Treasury Regulations, revenue rulings, case law, and professional research platforms
• Respond to IRS and state notices including CP2000 and underreporter notices
• Provide technical guidance and mentoring to tax preparers to strengthen their knowledge and quality of work
• Collaborate with leadership to improve workflows, procedures, documentation, and department efficiency
• Communicate directly with clients regarding complex tax matters and create clear review videos explaining return results
• Maintain thorough documentation within the firm's practice management system
• Stay current on tax law changes and identify opportunities to enhance quality and client service

This is not an entry-level position. The ideal candidate will have:

• 5+ years of tax preparation experience with extensive background preparing and reviewing individual and business returns
• CPA or EA designation (strongly preferred)
• Strong working knowledge of federal and multi-state taxation
• Demonstrated tax research, analytical, and problem-solving abilities using authoritative resources
• Experience responding to IRS and state tax notices
• Proven experience performing technical tax reviews and identifying substantive issues
• Experience with Drake Tax review workflows and diagnostics (preferred)
• Background mentoring and providing technical guidance to other tax professionals
• Exceptional attention to detail and commitment to accuracy

• Professional, collaborative approach with ability to work independently in a remote environment
• Fluency in written and spoken English with strong communication skills
