Manage inbound member inquiries about our product, process, taxes, and accounting via email and phone.
Proactively send updates and reminders about key onboarding milestones.
Identify opportunities to streamline and improve the onboarding process.
What You'll Bring

Familiarity with U.S. taxes, tax-filing procedures, U.S. corporate structures (LLCs/S Corps), and proficiency with online bookkeeping and payroll systems.
Exceptional written and verbal English communication skills, with the ability to explain complex topics clearly and manage conflict effectively.
