Jackson Hewitt – Serving 5 Walmart Locations | Seasonal Leadership Role | Earn Significant Bonuses

Jackson Hewitt Tax Services is one of the nation’s most trusted names in tax preparation – and we’re looking for a skilled, motivated tax professional to lead our High Desert team across five Walmart locations this upcoming tax season.

As both a Tax Preparer and a Team Leader, you’ll not only prepare individual tax returns, but also oversee the daily operations of five Jackson Hewitt kiosks inside Walmart stores, support your team, and ensure every client gets the outstanding service we’re known for.

As a Seasonal Tax Preparer in Walmart, you will:

Proactively engage with Walmart customers and employees – this is a retail sales position

Assist clients via one-on-one tax interviews and answer questions from walk-ins

Complete tax preparation training, and demonstrate a willingness and ability to learn

Utilize basic computer skills

Be supported by exceptional leadership and knowledgeable tax preparers, ensuring you're never alone

Experience the best of both worlds: the camaraderie of a team, combined with the autonomy of working independently

As the Walmart Team Leader, you will:

Lead team training – regularly train and coach teammates on effective techniques for face-to-face client marketing and overcoming objections.

Implement marketing strategies and motivate your team to increase completed return counts

Coordinate scheduling and oversee day-to-day operations

Foster a positive team culture focused on client satisfaction and accuracy

Provide teammates with guidance in handling difficult or complex problems or in resolving escalated complaints or disputes

Ensure compliance with IRS guidelines, Jackson Hewitt policies, and Walmart protocols at all locations

Monitor return counts, holds, voids, and rejects at all Walmart locations. Report performance metrics weekly and collaborate with the District Manager and CEO on business goals

This position promotes the Jackson Hewitt brand through the delivery of superior customer service.

Skills you’ll bring for success:

The ideal candidate is a resourceful self-starter who works well independently and can lead a team. Someone who can adapt quickly to changing priorities and loves connecting to clients in a high-energy environment. Situated within one of the world’s largest retailers – Walmart – you and your team will have the opportunity to tap into a vast customer base and experience the rewards of handling a larger book of business, allowing you the potential to earn higher compensation.

3+ years of experience preparing individual tax returns

Prior leadership or supervisory experience in a retail or tax prep environment and/or sales management preferred
