Part-Time CPA /EA Tax Accountant (US Business Tax Returns) 🧾📊 – Remote

Company Overview

Our client is a finance and advisory firm that supports founders, CEOs, and CFOs with outsourced accounting, tax, and financial operations.

They work with businesses and individuals across industries — including real estate, SaaS, and investment firms — helping them manage bookkeeping, tax compliance, and financial reporting without building a full in-house team.

Because the work directly impacts tax compliance, financial accuracy, and client outcomes , precision and reliability are critical. Mistakes here don’t just create internal issues — they can affect filings, liabilities, and client trust.
