Job description

Job Title: Remote Senior Accountant - Small Business Tax & Accounting
Job ID: 1045542
Date Posted: July 28, 2026
Employment Type: Full-time
Hiring Company: Confidential
Location: US Remote
Applicants must be located in the United States and available during EST business hours.
Base Salary: $70,000–$85,000 per year (USD)
Commensurate with experience.
Role Summary
 We are a growing CPA firm—not a corporate accounting department—looking for an experienced public accountant who loves working with small business owners. This isn't just about processing transactions; it's about taking ownership of client relationships and helping entrepreneurs succeed. If you've "been in the trenches" of a CPA firm and enjoy a mix of tax, high-level bookkeeping, and advisory work in a flexible, remote setting, you’ll fit right in.
Key Responsibilities
  • Tax Delivery: Independently prepare business (1120S, 1065) and individual (1040) returns and assist with proactive year-round tax planning.
  • Full-Cycle Accounting: Manage monthly bookkeeping, payroll, sales tax, and financial reporting for a dedicated group of clients.
  • The "Detective" Work: Take the lead on complex cleanup projects, turning disorganized records into clean, actionable financials.
  • Client Connection: Serve as the primary point of contact for your clients, answering their questions and leading them through onboarding with a helpful, expert touch.
  • Advisory Support: Assist with budgeting and financial analysis to help clients understand their "numbers" better.

Qualifications/Requirements
  • The Right Experience: 4+ years in a CPA firm or public practice (Corporate-only experience is not a fit for this role).
  • Tax Skills: You can prepare small business and individual returns from start to finish without hand-holding.
  • Tech Savvy: Advanced QuickBooks Online skills and experience with professional tax software (e.g., Drake, Lacerte, or UltraTax).
  • The Mindset: You enjoy "messy" books, love solving problems, and communicate clearly with non-accountants.
  • Certification: Already a CPA/EA or actively working toward your license.

Compensation & Growth
This isn't a dead-end staff position; you are helping build a firm alongside the owner in a culture that values quality over quantity. We focus on doing excellent work for the right clients rather than churning through volume.
  • Flexibility & Balance: Truly remote work with a trust-based, flexible PTO policy and sustainable "busy season" hours.
  • Full Benefits: Monthly health insurance stipend, 401(k) with employer match, internet reimbursement, and a home office setup budget.
  • Investment in You: We cover full CPA/EA exam materials and fees, provide an annual CE allowance, and offer direct mentorship.
  • Modern Culture: Collaborative environment with zero hierarchy and access to the latest cloud-based software and technology.
