Tax Specialist

Tax Specialist
📍 Location: Remote | LATAM-based — Colombia preferred 🕐 Full-time
About the Role
We are a growing US-based tax and accounting firm that has been operating for 3 years. We're building out our remote LATAM team and looking for a Tax Manager who can work independently, someone who owns their work from start to finish and doesn't need their hand held.
This is not a support role. You'll be preparing and reviewing US tax returns across both individual and corporate clients, managing client relationships directly, and making judgment calls on complex scenarios. The goal is simple: if you're doing your job well, the CEP doesn't have to review every line you produce.
We're looking for someone with real ownership, strong work ethic, and the drive to grow in a remote environment. If you can take a client file and run with it, you'll thrive here.
🧠 Key Responsibilities
Prepare and review US federal and state tax returns: individual (1040), S corps (1120-S), C corps (1120), partnerships (1065)
Manage client relationships independently. Ask the right questions, set expectations, and deliver on time
Identify tax planning opportunities and communicate recommendations clearly
Stay current on US tax law changes and apply them proactively to client situations
Leverage AI tools to improve accuracy and turnaround time and be honest about where you need to develop
Flag issues early and escalate when needed, no surprises
✅ Main Qualifications
Must Have: 3–4+ years of hands-on US tax experience covering both individual and corporate clients
Proficiency with Forms 1040, 1065, 1120, and 1120-S
Experience working directly with US clients or US-based firms
Ability to work independently with minimal review. You know when you're right and you know when to ask
Strong written and verbal English, you'll be communicating with clients directly
Willingness to learn, grow, and be honest about what you don't know
