What are remote bookkeepers?

Remote bookkeepers are financial professionals who manage and record a business’s financial transactions from a location outside of the client’s office, often working from home or another remote setting. They use online accounting software and digital communication tools to track income, expenses, payroll, and reconcile accounts. This allows businesses to maintain accurate financial records without needing an in-house bookkeeper. Remote bookkeeping is popular with small businesses seeking flexibility and cost savings. The work is typically organized, detail-oriented, and requires strong communication skills.

Job description

About TaxValet

We're not just a tax company. We're an emotions company. We believe that the work we do is a reflection of our higher purpose in life. And if the work isn't fulfilling and enjoyable, what's the point? At our company, our Core Purpose is to "transform negative emotions into something positive for our clients, partners, and each other". It just so happens that we do that by eliminating the hassle and stress of sales tax. We are looking for candidates who are enthusiastic and want to work towards our Core Purpose, too.

As a fractional sales tax department, TaxValet handles everything for clients, from nexus analysis to permit registrations, filings, audit support, and more. Unlike traditional sales tax software that overpromises and underdelivers, we provide a comprehensive, custom-tailored solution that grows with our clients' businesses. And unlike traditional professional service firms, we offer an all-inclusive solution for a simple, predictable monthly rate with no billable hours.

We're a fast-growing, fully remote, financially stable, and profitable business with an AWESOME team of around 100 teammates. We're building a world-class fractional sales tax department, and new team members will be part of the reason why.

As a certified B-Corporation, TaxValet is committed to using business as a force for good. This means we consider the impact of our decisions on our team, clients, community, and environment. We're also a "give 1%" organization, dedicating 1% of profit, employee time, and service time to nonprofits.

We are a core-value-driven business. That means we hire, promote, and reward based on alignment with our core values:

  • Feel It: We value connecting with the real emotions and experiences of others. We also value respectfully sharing our own real emotions and experiences with others.
  • Shape It: We proactively contribute our ideas and talents by speaking up, challenging the status quo, and taking calculated risks to shape our future.
  • Own It: We take full responsibility for our actions, decisions, and outcomes. We use both successes and failures as opportunities for growth, openly sharing lessons learned.
  • Crush It: We relentlessly pursue exponential impact in our business and life.
  • Question It: Be curious. Ask questions. Seek clarity in the pursuit of continuous improvement and excellence. Create a culture of fearless inquiry.

If you're enthusiastic about transforming negative emotions into something positive and want to join the #2 Best Remote Workplace in America, we'd love to hear from you!

Title: Remote Sales Tax Accountant (Full-Time)

Location: 100% Remote work with core working hours of 11 AM - 4 PM EST.

About The Role

TaxValet is looking for a Sales Tax Accountant to help our clients eliminate the hassle and risk of sales tax. As a team member of a growing start-up, you'll work to ensure that each of your clients' needs are taken care of each month. You will use your keen eye for attention to detail to solve time-critical problems for clients, submit sales tax filings, and contribute to improving the team's workflows and processes.

You are a self-starter, willing to learn on the job, and take ownership and pride over your work. The ideal candidate is comfortable with learning and using new technology and has some bookkeeping or accounting experience, and is comfortable working remotely. This requires having high-speed and reliable home internet.

Your Qualifications

We're looking for someone who is ready to learn and grow professionally, and wants a career (not just a job). We can train you on a lot of things, but here are our non-negotiables:

Professional

  • Atleast 2 Years of Accounting Experience: You know the ropes when it comes to accounting. Your expertise helps keep things running smoothly.
  • Multi-Client Master: Juggling multiple clients? You've got it covered. You can manage different priorities like a pro while keeping everything organized and on track.
  • Excel/Google Sheets Guru: Whether it's complex formulas, pivot tables, or data analysis, you're a spreadsheet genius who can turn numbers into insights faster than a spreadsheet can load!
  • Bonus Points for US Sales Tax Knowledge and / or having your CPA: If you've got US sales tax experience up your sleeve, great! If not, no worries – we'll help you get there.

Interpersonal

  • You're detail-oriented and have a sharp eye for detail. You catch the little things that others miss and always deliver top-notch work.
  • You're great at analyzing data and uncovering insights that others might overlook.
  • You have excellent time management. Deadlines don't scare you! You're a time management pro, always prioritizing outcomes and ensuring everything gets done efficiently and effectively.
  • You're a multi-tasking pro! You can easily prioritize and balance competing demands, ensuring everything stays on track.
  • You're always a team player at heart, and you never hesitate to share your learnings with your team or apply learnings gained from your collaboration with others.

You know how to follow rules and processes, but you're also creative and think beyond the standard approach when necessary.

  • You're always eager to learn new skills and technologies excite you! You're always looking to expand your knowledge and grow professionally.
  • You're an effective and comfortable communicator. Whether it's writing, video chats, or phone calls, you communicate with ease and clarity in English. You're comfortable getting your point across in any setting and love collaborating with others.
  • You are effective in bringing order and clarity to complex and chaotic situations.
  • You are not afraid to challenge the status quo and speak up when something doesn't seem right. You're confident in voicing concerns and advocating for what's best for the team, clients, and TaxValet as a whole.

Please note that the final step before being hired is for you to arrange reference calls with your former managers and others.

Your Primary Responsibilities

  • Prepare and submit sales tax filings. You will work with the clients to ensure their sales tax data is accurate and in a format compatible with the tax software, prepare estimated liabilities, and submit sales tax filings on a monthly basis.
  • Monitor clients' tax collection variances. On a periodic (typically monthly) basis, you will monitor the variance between tax collected and the calculated liability due, determine any issues and work to resolve said issues with clients when possible.
  • Provide assistance to resolve time-critical issues. Many clients come to us with notices from state sales tax authorities regarding assessments, collections, and past due returns. You will work closely with clients to resolve these issues and get their filings current. This often involves working with sales tax authorities to help our clients.
  • Assist with special client projects. You will assist with submitting late or amended sales tax returns, managing audits, and updating clients' company information with the states.
  • Internal documentation, workflows, and processes. You will be a key player in updating internal documentation for new and/or more efficient filing and account management processes, workflows, and tools used.
  • Be the primary point of contact for your clients. Once clients leave the onboarding process, you will be their primary point of contact for all services. You will be responsible for ensuring consistent and adequate communication between the team and the clients regarding any issues, sales tax filings, projects, or requests.
  • Learn New Skills. You will continue to learn and advance your understanding of sales tax and related technical skills on an ongoing basis to advance your career and increase the value you bring to the team.

Specific Measures of Success

No surprises here! After a year on the job, you'll be measured by these specific outcomes:

  • Average timeframe for special project completion. On average, complete special projects within 60 days of client sign-off/approval to proceed.
  • Average timeframe for past due return project completion. On average, complete all known backfilings within 90 days of client onboarding completion.
  • Client tax variance percentage. Have 80% of clients with less than 3% tax collection variance (the difference between the tax collected and the amount due to the state).
  • Submitting returns on time. Have 99.9% of monthly filings submitted by state due dates.
  • Completion of online education and training. You will complete 3 hours per quarter of Sales Tax Institute Webinars or other educational training.

Compensation and Benefits

We believe working side-by-side with an awesome team is the greatest benefit there is, but there are other reasons why we love working at TaxValet including:

  • Annual compensation - $59,500
  • 43 days off per year. This includes 22 holidays per year, plus 21 days of PTO per year. Yes, seriously.
  • 3 additional days off per year to volunteer with a non-profit organization of your choice.
  • Company pays 100% of health, short-term disability, and long-term disability insurance, and 99% of dental and vision insurance.
  • 401(k) Plan with generous company matching. We match 100% of up to a 3% contribution, and an additional 50% match on a 4-5% contribution.
  • 100% Remote work with core working hours of 11 AM - 4 PM EST.
  • The ability to participate in the company profit sharing program the year after your hire date (pending passing a financial literacy quiz.)
