Research and track down overdue payroll tax filings and payments

Maintain client records and update tracking spreadsheets

Help manage deadlines and keep the team on schedule during busy periods

Handle basic data entry in QuickBooks and tax software

Comfortable using QuickBooks and at least one professional tax software package (Drake, Lacerte, ProConnect, etc.)

Strong organizational skills and attention to detail

Reliable follow-through — if you say you'll track something down, you do it

Clear, professional communication with clients and government agencies

Able to work independently with minimal supervision

Details:

Hours: 10–20 per week (flexible scheduling)

Rate: $25–$35/hr depending on experience

Location: Fully remote
