  • Review documents for accuracy and completeness before submission
  • Handle general administrative tasks scheduling, filing, document management
  • Support accountants with reporting and reconciliations during tax season

Requirements

  • Minimum 2+ years of experience in an administrative, accounting, or bookkeeping role
  • Basic understanding of tax forms, procedures, and deadlines
  • Excellent attention to detail and organizational skills
  • Proficiency with Excel / Google Sheets and cloud-based tools
  • Strong written and verbal communication
  • Prior experience with a tax or accounting firm is an advantage
  • Preferred Skills

  • Familiarity with U.S. tax forms (1040, W-2, 1099, etc.)
