What is a part time tax season job?

Part-time tax season jobs are temporary positions offered by tax preparation firms, accounting offices, or financial services companies during the annual tax filing period, typically from January to April. These roles often include tasks such as preparing tax returns, assisting clients with tax documents, data entry, and customer service. They are ideal for individuals seeking flexible, short-term employment and may require knowledge of tax regulations or certification, depending on the employer. Many people take on these jobs to gain experience in tax preparation or supplement their income during tax season.

What are the typical work schedules and expectations for a part time tax season role?

Part-time tax season roles often require a flexible schedule, with most hours concentrated during evenings and weekends to accommodate clients’ availability. While weekly hours may vary, it’s common to work longer shifts closer to tax filing deadlines. You’ll typically collaborate with a team of tax professionals and may also interact directly with clients to collect documents and answer questions. Strong time management and adaptability are key, as priorities can shift rapidly during peak periods.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a part time tax season associate, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Part-Time Tax Season Associate, you generally need a foundational knowledge of tax laws, strong numerical skills, and experience with tax preparation, often supported by coursework or relevant certifications. Familiarity with tax software such as ProSeries, Drake, or TurboTax, as well as proficiency with spreadsheets and document management systems, is typically required. Attention to detail, effective communication, and the ability to work under deadlines are essential soft skills in this role. These skills and qualities ensure accurate tax filings, client satisfaction, and the ability to handle the fast pace and high volume of work during tax season.

What is the difference between Part Time Tax Season vs Part Time Bookkeeper?

AspectPart Time Tax SeasonPart Time Bookkeeper
Required CredentialsEnrolled Agent, CPA, or tax preparation certificationBookkeeping certification or experience, often no formal credential required
Work EnvironmentSeasonal, primarily in tax offices or remoteOffice or remote, ongoing throughout the year
Employer & IndustryTax firms, accounting companies, freelanceSmall businesses, accounting firms, freelance

Part Time Tax Season roles focus on preparing and filing taxes during the tax season, requiring specific tax credentials. Part Time Bookkeeper roles involve ongoing financial record-keeping, often with less formal certification. Both roles may be remote or in-office, but their seasonal vs. year-round nature distinguishes them.

Job description

Position Overview

We are an established CPA firm seeking an experienced Tax Accountant to join our team in a long-term position.

This position is designed for a tax professional who enjoys public accounting but would also like greater flexibility outside of tax season. The position is full-time during the busy season with substantially reduced hours during the remainder of the year.

This may be an excellent fit for an experienced tax professional who wants to remain in public accounting without maintaining a traditional full-time schedule throughout the entire year.

The successful candidate will have hands-on tax preparation experience and be comfortable working independently while also collaborating with other members of our team.

Responsibilities

  • Prepare federal and state individual and business income tax returns.
  • Prepare Forms 1040, 1065, 1120-S and 1120.
  • Review client information and identify missing or inconsistent information.
  • Perform tax research as necessary.
  • Assist with tax planning and projections.
  • Communicate professionally with clients regarding tax information and questions.
  • Work efficiently and independently while meeting tax-season deadlines.
  • Maintain accurate workpapers and documentation.
  • Coordinate with partners and other staff regarding client matters.
  • Depending on experience, review tax returns prepared by other staff.

Qualifications

Preferred qualifications include:

  • Prior public-accounting tax experience.
  • Experience preparing individual, partnership, S corporation and corporate income tax returns.
  • Strong understanding of federal income taxation.
  • Ability to organize and manage multiple tax engagements during busy season.
  • Strong attention to detail.
  • Good written and verbal communication skills.
  • Ability to work both independently and collaboratively.
  • Comfortable working in a hybrid environment.

A CPA license or EA designation is preferred but not required. We place significant value on practical tax preparation experience and would consider a strong candidate who does not currently hold a professional license.

Schedule

This position offers an alternative to the traditional year-round public-accounting schedule.

Tax season: Full-time schedule with additional hours as needed to meet filing deadlines.

Off-season: Reduced and flexible part-time schedule.

The position is intended to be a long-term, year-round role, rather than a temporary seasonal tax position.

Compensation

$28–$40 per hour, depending upon:

  • Public-accounting tax experience
  • Complexity of returns the candidate can prepare independently
  • CPA or EA credentials
  • Ability to review tax returns
  • Tax research and planning experience
  • Overall level of independence and responsibility

Why Consider This Position?

This position may be particularly attractive to an experienced tax professional who enjoys public accounting but is looking for greater work-life flexibility outside of tax season.

We offer:

  • Hybrid work arrangement
  • Flexible off-season schedule
  • Reduced hours for much of the year
  • Competitive hourly compensation
  • Long-term employment
  • Opportunity to work with a variety of individual and business clients
  • Opportunity for increased responsibility based upon experience
  • 401(k) retirement plan

We are looking for someone who values quality work, professionalism, reliability and a long-term relationship with our firm.
