About The Role
We are a US-based accounting and tax firm seeking an experienced CPA to serve as a US Business Tax Preparer focused on corporate and partnership tax returns.

- Perform accounting adjustments, including:
- Booking amortization and depreciation.
- Grossing up payroll and other period-end adjustments.
- Review trial balances, supporting schedules, and source documents to ensure accuracy before filing.
- Ensure compliance with US federal and state tax laws and current IRS guidance.
- Communicate with the US team for clarifications and resolve open items on returns.
- Maintain confidentiality and follow all data security and privacy procedures.
- Use ProSeries tax software (training provided if needed, but prior experience is preferred).

- Licensed CPA with strong exposure to US taxation.
- Minimum 5 years of hands-on experience preparing US business tax returns (corporate and partnership).
- Solid understanding of:
