HELP!
TAX PREPARER / ACCOUNTANT WANTED
The “Not Your Basic Bean Counters” of Phelps & Watson, LLC are looking to add another bean counter to our team.
If you have accounting and tax prep experience, this is an opportunity you won’t want to miss!
Our office is a fantastic place to work. We are a CPA firm with 7 staff members. You might envision working long hours, preparing all kinds of tax returns, doing bookkeeping and payroll, etc. Well, that’s all true. We do all that and do it well. But, working here entails a whole lot more. Our work philosophy centers on family first. For example, if your child has a baseball game today at 3PM you had better be at the game! Nobody will care, 20 years from now, how many returns you’ve prepared or how many phone calls you returned. But your kid will remember if you made it to their game!
We are a very informal office. “Stuffy” is not a word that would describe us. We laugh a LOT. We have a great relationship with our clients and treat them as if they’re family. We even treat EACH OTHER like family. We enjoy working together, and therefore, we hire based on the “WABLY method.” (We All Better Like You!) You will enjoy working with us. You will learn a LOT from us and we expect to learn a LOT from you.
So, now that you have a feel for what it’s like to work here, maybe you or someone you know would be a good fit. The person we are looking for will be, first and foremost, a genuine “people person”. This person will enjoy meeting and getting to know our clients.
In addition, our dream bean counter would be someone with the following:
1) Prior tax preparation experience and confidence preparing both 1040 returns and business entity returns. OR someone who is willing to study and learn. (Prior experience is a BIG plus!)
2) Organization skills. Accuracy and attention to detail is essential in this line of work!
3) Computer savviness or willingness to learn new software.
4) Availability to work long hours, especially when a tax deadline is pending.
5) Flexibility and willingness to learn our office procedures.
6) Experience in accounting and payroll preparation or a willingness to learn. Knowledge of Quickbooks would be a bonus!
The position could be full-time or part-time. We are willing to work with you to fit our needs. If you are interested and ready to join our family, please send a resume` and cover letter with a description of how you will fit in as our new “Bean Counter” to: [email protected] or 290 S 4th St. Coos Bay, OR 97420
