Founding US Expat Tax Preparers (CPA / EA Preferred): Independent Contractor | Remote | Pre-Launch Team

We are building a modern, technology-enabled firm focused exclusively on American taxpayers living abroad.

We are launching later this year and are forming our founding team of experienced US Expat Tax Preparers now.

This is not a seasonal volume tax job.
We are building structured systems, clear workflows, and long-term professional relationships from day one.

About the Firm

We serve one niche only:

US citizens and green card holders living overseas.

Our focus is precision, organization, and clean digital workflows, not high-volume domestic 1040 preparation.

We are building:

Structured digital intake systems

Clear documentation standards

Organized workflow processes

A technology-enabled environment that reduces chaos

We are recruiting early so we are fully prepared when client volume begins.

We are building an AI-Native cloud accounting firm that is technology first.

Required Experience

You must have direct experience preparing US expat tax returns, including:

Form 1116 (Foreign Tax Credit)

Form 2555 (Foreign Earned Income Exclusion)

FinCEN 114 (FBAR)

Form 8938

Form 5471 (strongly preferred)

Form 3520

Form 8621 (PFIC experience preferred)

Additional requirements:

CPA or EA preferred (strong expat experience considered)

3–5+ years relevant US tax experience

Strong written and spoken English

Ability to work independently in a remote environment

Highly organized and deadline-driven

Comfortable working with digital systems and cloud-based workflows

Compensation

This is an independent contractor role.

Compensation:

Hourly: $10–$20/hour depending on experience and complexity level

Initial workload: Part-time during pre-launch phase

Opportunity to scale hours as client volume increases

We will begin with structured hourly engagement while workflows are finalized. As volume stabilizes, compensation structure may evolve based on performance and specialization.

There are no fixed quotas.
You take on work you can responsibly handle.

Founding tea ---------- mbers will receive priority allocation once client flow begins.

Sister Company Stability

We also operate a separate bookkeeping firm serving small businesses.

For those interested, this may provide:

Off-season income opportunities

Ongoing advisory support

More consistent year-round engagement

Participation is optional.

What We Value

We are looking for professionals who:

Take ownership of their work

Communicate clearly and proactively

Respect deadlines

Care about accuracy

See technology as a tool to improve efficiency

This is a long-term professional relationship, not short-term seasonal hiring.

Timeline

We are currently:

Interviewing and vetting candidates

Finalizing systems and workflows

Preparing for launch later this year

Selected candidates will be onboarded prior to launch.
