Managing expectations involves setting clear timelines, establishing processes for document submission, and proactively updating clients on progress or issues. This structured approach helps maintain trust and ensures accurate, timely bookkeeping for all clients.

What is a remote fractional bookkeeper?

A remote fractional bookkeeper is a financial professional who manages a company's bookkeeping tasks on a part-time or as-needed basis, working remotely rather than onsite. This arrangement allows businesses, especially small or growing companies, to access expert bookkeeping services without hiring a full-time employee. The remote fractional bookkeeper typically handles tasks such as recording financial transactions, reconciling bank statements, generating financial reports, and ensuring compliance with accounting standards. This flexible solution can be more cost-effective and scalable for businesses with fluctuating bookkeeping needs.

Job description

Tax Accountant & Client Advisory Manager - Build Something With Us

BookSmarts is growing, and we'd love to talk with you.


We're a woman-founded, woman-led accounting firm built on a simple foundation: kindness, precision, and innovative thinking. Our accounting practice is established and thriving; now we're expanding into tax services, and we're looking for someone to help lead that charge.


This is a hybrid Tax Accountant / Fractional Controller role for someone who's equally comfortable preparing complex business returns and sitting across the table (virtually) from a client to help them think strategically about their financial future.

What You'll Do

You'll be expanding our tax practice, working alongside our existing accounting team. That means preparing individual and business tax returns, ensuring compliance with current tax regulations, and developing proactive tax strategies with clients.


You'll also provide full-cycle accounting for a book of clients, overseeing bookkeepers and providing financial oversight, advisory support, and the kind of trusted guidance that makes a real difference for small and mid-size businesses.

Requirements

  • Active CPA license or EA
  • 3-5 years of business tax preparation experience
  • Strong working knowledge of current tax law and regulations
  • Experience creating and presenting tax strategy plans with clients
  • Comfortable in a client-facing, advisory capacity
  • Remote within the U.S. | Must be authorized to work in the United States

What We're Looking For

You bring both technical depth and genuine care for clients. You know your way around a complex business return, but you also understand that behind every return is a real person or business counting on you to get it right - and to help them plan ahead. You communicate clearly, work independently, and thrive in a collaborative remote environment.


What We Offer

This is a part-time to full-time role (30-40 hours/week) with genuinely flexible scheduling. All-remote, partially asynchronous, and structured to work with your life. 401(k) match and PTO. $32+/hour based on experience.

We especially encourage women returning to the workforce or seeking flexible arrangements to apply.
