– Has previous experience in data entry, accounting, or tax preparation
– Possesses strong knowledge of IRS tax regulations and tax software like QuickBooks or TurboTax
– Brings exceptional attention to detail and organizational discipline
– Understands tax regulations, filing procedures, and Virginia Beach tax policies
– Handles confidential financial data with integrity and discretion

Why This Role Matters:
Tax preparation isn't just about numbers — it's about trust. Clients rely on accuracy and compliance to protect their finances and their peace of mind. You'll play a critical role in delivering that confidence with every return you prepare.

Why You'll Love Working Here:
– Be part of a team that values integrity, precision, and doing right by clients

– Grow your expertise in US tax preparation across individual and business returns
