Required Qualifications

• Active CTEC and PTIN (required)

• Previous tax preparation experience (required)

• Experience preparing business returns (strongly preferred)

• Solid working knowledge of Schedules A, B, C, D , and amendments

• Comfort working with professional tax software and internal systems

• Strong attention to detail and commitment to compliance
