Our client is seeking an experienced and detail-oriented Tax Preparer to join their team. This is a great prospect for someone with a background in personal tax preparation who enjoys working independently, managing their workload, and providing excellent client service.

The successful candidate will play an important role in supporting the firm’s personal tax preparation services, taking ownership of preparing accurate and timely returns while communicating directly with clients as needed.
