About the role

You’ll work closely with the founding team to review returns, identify edge cases, and translate real-world tax workflows into product improvements. This is not a traditional accounting firm role. You’ll bring your tax expertise into the product-building process, working at the intersection of tax, technology, and product.

What they're looking for

  • Experienced preparing individual tax returns using professional tax software such as Drake, UltraTax, CCH, Lacerte, ProSeries, or similar platforms
  • Experienced reviewing tax returns, not just preparing them
  • Strong understanding of U.S. federal individual income tax
