Tax Preparer - Seasonal

About Uprise
Uprise's mission is to give everyone in the world the ability to optimize their finances.
We're a premium tax and advisory firm for people with genuinely complex finances: business owners, real estate, stock comp, and more. We pair expert tax professionals and advisors with technology to deliver a high-touch, proactive experience that traditional firms can't, and we reach clients by embedding inside the platforms and advisory firms they already trust: partners like HoneyBook, NerdWallet, Flychain, alongside a growing roster of RIAs and wealth firms.
We're backed by top VCs (Blank Ventures, Serac Ventures, TruStage, Hustle Fund) and by founders and senior execs from Gusto, SoFi, Stripe, and Robinhood, among others.
About the role
This role is remote anywhere in the U.S., with a preference for candidates in the Las Vegas, NV area.
This is a part-time hourly role through the end of this year, then full-time from January through May for the main filing season. There's an opportunity for strong performers to stay on throughout the year.
We're a small, tight-knit team building a tax firm from the ground up, with AI tooling designed around how good tax work actually gets done. You would join early and see how a tax practice gets built.
You'll work alongside our Tax Compliance Manager and prepare the first pass of client returns. You'll assemble returns using our AI tooling and Drake, build the workpapers, and hand off to our review team. Tax judgment calls sit with the reviewer, not with you, so you'll be learning how our reviewers think while you work. This is the seat people grow into more advanced tax work from.
What you'll do
Prepare the first pass of individual and business returns using our AI-assisted workflow and Drake, including 1040, 1120S, 1065, and related forms.
Build accurate, well-organized workpapers so the reviewer has what they need.
Track down missing documents and information to keep returns moving.
Flag anything unusual or unclear to the review team.
Keep our systems current so the team can see where every return stands.
Tell us what's slowing you down so we can fix the workflow and the tooling.
Who you are
You have 1 to 2 years of tax preparation experience, or equivalent coursework plus an internship or a busy season.
You hold a valid PTIN.
You want to build a career in tax, and you're looking for a seat where the work gets harder as you get better.
An EA in progress is a plus.
You're detail-oriented and organized, and you ask questions when something doesn't look right.
You're comfortable working remotely across tax software, client portals, and secure file sharing. Drake experience is a plus.
You're available roughly 15 to 20 hours a week through the end of the year, and full-time January through May. During filing season this is your main work, not something you fit around another job.
You're based in the U.S. Las Vegas preferred.
