About the Opportunity

Little Fish Accounting isn’t your typical accounting firm—and that’s entirely by design.

- Prepare and review complex federal and state tax returns, ensuring compliance, accuracy, and alignment with each client’s broader financial goals
- Lead proactive tax planning, including quarterly projections, retirement strategies, and deduction optimization
- File quarterly estimated tax payments and provide timely communication to clients around upcoming deadlines and obligations
- Identify risks and opportunities in client financials and escalate complex issues for strategic resolution
- Analyze and reconcile financial records in preparation for tax filing, collaborating with internal team members as needed
- Serve as the lead communicator with clients—explaining nuanced tax decisions in a clear, approachable way
- Document and manage all deadlines, extensions, and filing requirements across your book of business
- Contribute to internal process improvements, bringing forward-thinking ideas to enhance accuracy, efficiency, and client experience
- Uphold audit-readiness and quality standards, maintaining organized digital files and ensuring documentation meets internal protocols
What You’ll Bring
- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field (required)
- EA certification (preferred or in progress)
- At least 4 years of experience in small business tax prep and advisory
- Strong communication skills and confidence in client-facing work
- Proficiency in QuickBooks Online and tax software (Drake preferred)
- Experience with remote tools like Google Drive, Slack, and ClickUp
- A proactive, organized, and detail-oriented work style
