CredentialsCPA, Enrolled Agent, or tax preparation certificationCPA, EA, or tax preparer certification
Work EnvironmentSpecializes in international tax laws for expatriatesHandles various tax filings for individuals and businesses
Industry UsagePrimarily in international finance and expatriate servicesWidely used across all industries for tax compliance

Expat Tax professionals focus on international tax laws affecting expatriates, while Tax Accountants handle a broad range of tax services for individuals and companies. Both roles require similar credentials and may work in overlapping environments, but their primary focus and client base differ.

What are some common challenges faced by professionals in Expat Tax roles, and how can they be managed?

Expat Tax professionals often encounter challenges such as staying updated with frequently changing international tax laws, managing complex client cases involving multiple jurisdictions, and navigating communication barriers with clients across different time zones. To manage these challenges, professionals typically rely on continuous professional development, strong attention to detail, and collaborative teamwork within their firm. Regular training, access to global tax resources, and effective project management tools also play a crucial role in ensuring accuracy and timely service delivery.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an Expat Tax Specialist, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Expat Tax Specialist, you need in-depth knowledge of international tax laws, cross-border tax compliance, and relevant accounting qualifications such as a CPA or EA. Familiarity with tax preparation software (like CCH or GoSystem Tax), IRS regulations, and foreign income reporting systems is typically required. Strong attention to detail, problem-solving, and clear communication skills help you effectively manage complex client cases and explain intricate tax issues. These competencies ensure compliance, minimize tax liabilities for clients, and foster trust in a specialized and high-stakes area of accounting.

What are expat tax professionals?

Expat tax professionals are specialists who help individuals living and working outside their home country navigate complex international tax laws. They assist with filing tax returns, ensuring compliance with both home and host country tax regulations, and identifying deductions or credits available to expatriates. Their expertise helps clients avoid double taxation and penalties, making the tax process smoother for those living abroad.

US Expat Tax Accountant (CPA, EA or JD) Independent Contractor

Greenback Expat Tax Services

Remote

Contractor

Posted yesterday

Job description

Location: Remote
Greenback Expat Tax Services was founded and is run by US Expats. We help American's living abroad get and stay compliant on their US tax obligations. We are a highly energetic, positive, and resourceful team working virtually across the globe. We believe that executional excellence is the key to success. We are currently seeking 5 Expat Tax Accountants (CPA, EA, or JD) to work as Independent Contractors with us.
At Greenback, we provide our US Expat Tax Accountants (CPA, EA, or JD) with the tools that they need to be successful and we bring our clients to them so that they can focus on preparing expat taxes and providing exceptional customer care! This is ideal for any experienced accountant who does not want to do the marketing, operations, or billing required to grow a practice.
This is NOT a traditional remote accounting job, it's a business built on our platform for professionals who can deliver exceptional client service through strong written and verbal communication. You would work with Greenback clients as an independent contractor and will be paid for the clients you complete. This role is ideal for US Expat Tax Accountants (CPA, EA, or JD) who love the idea of their earning potential being tied to their individual accomplishments, are obsessively organized, and have a natural flair for customer care.
What we're looking for:
  • CPAs, EAs or JDs (with LLM in Taxation) with at least three years of experience preparing US expat tax returns, including specific experience with the additional forms and schedules required for expats (1116, 2555, FinCen 114,5471, 3520, etc.). Business tax preparation (1065, 1120, 8865, 5471, 5472, etc) experience is a big plus!
  • As an independent contractor you will manage your own schedule and workload. There are no set hours. You get paid for the work you do and your results. You take on as many customers as you choose.
  • People who see technology as an enabler and embrace it fully. We use state-of-the-art systems (Salesforce, Box, ProSeries, and Lacerte).
  • Accountants who are extremely organized, especially in managing around deadlines. This is a deadline-driven business, so anyone who gets frazzled near a tax deadline or disorganized will struggle.
  • Strong attention to detail.

Why work with Greenback?
  • Again, this is not a traditional 9-to-5 accounting job-you are independent. There are no set hours, you work directly with clients on our platform and your earnings are based on your results.
  • No office/no commute. You have the ultimate flexibility to decide where you work from and when you work -beyond even your standard work-from-home accounting job. Want to spend tax season in your home office and the slower season working a lighter load from Mexico, Bali, or the coast of Spain? Many on our team do just that!
  • You get paid directly in proportion to how many tax returns you complete and the service you provide. Your earning potential is unlimited and a good number of the accountants on our team earn six figures. If you're ambitious, have high expertise in US expat tax prep, work hard, and stay organized, this is a great opportunity for you.
  • This remote accounting job is an ideal fit for people who are happy to work on their own, but don't want to manage the business logistics like marketing, customer acquisition, billing, customer service, etc.
  • We're maniacal about customer care. We expect everyone to have an experience with us that makes them want to go straight out and tell their friends how wonderful Greenback is. Accountants who feel that's important thrive with us and love how happy their customers are at the end of each tax season.
  • You will have access to a peer group of 40+ accountants that are the best in the industry regarding US expat taxes and customer-centricity.

And the best news is- we're hiring!
To apply, take the following steps:
  • Fill out our online application (see link below!)
  • Attach your resume/CV and a cover letter to the application

We will follow up with all candidates within five working days with the next steps.
