WORK THAT MATTERS

What We Care About

We give
a damn.

We care deeply about people. Compassion is our default.

Curious
beats critical.

We ask questions, and do not make assumptions. Curiosity is how we learn.

Always
evolving.

We look ahead, stay teachable, and improve on purpose. Feedback fuels us.

We're
human first.

No fake personas, no rigid scripts. Real people serving real people.

Most tax firms look the same. We don't. There's no mahogany. No golf trophies. No framed photo of a handshake. No pant suits. No office. No last names on the door.

We built something different - and we're looking for someone who fits it. Detail-oriented, trainable, genuinely excited about what we're building. Experience matters less than attitude. Whether you're a primary caregiver with capacity for seasonal work, someone looking for a meaningful side gig, or just ready for something that fits your life - we'd love to hear from you.

Pay: $35–$60/hour, depending on experience

The role

This is a focused, heads-down reviewer role. You'll spend most of your time reviewing federal, state, and local individual income tax returns - finding issues, making corrections, and helping ensure every return is accurate before it reaches final sign-off.

Review individual income tax returns for accuracy and completeness
Prepare returns when needed
Identify missing information, inconsistencies, and potential issues
Make corrections directly in tax software when appropriate
Communicate with clients when additional documents or clarification are needed
Escalate complex situations to Claire or Logan

A clear picture of how a modern virtual tax firm operates

Experience that translates directly to CPA exam prep and future roles
