Our clients have raised over $5B in aggregate and are backed by companies like OpenAI, a16z, and Founders Fund. Hear why we exist, what we believe in, and who we're building for: Watch here About the Client An established South Florida CPA practice serving small business owners and high-net-worth individuals is hiring a Public Accountant to own corporate tax return preparation — 1120, 1120S, and 1065 — from raw client financials through filing. Operating for over two decades, the firm serves a loyal, largely bilingual client base spanning real estate, medical practices, retail, and trusts. Average employee tenure exceeds eight years, and the team is building a tiered preparer-to-reviewer structure to keep pace with rapid organic growth. About the Role Day-to-day, this role prepares 40-60 corporate returns per season, performs the write-up work behind them — opening client QuickBooks files, correcting errors, making adjusting journal entries — and communicates directly with clients to gather documentation. Core Responsibilities Corporate Tax Return Preparation Prepare complete 1120, 1120S, and 1065 returns for clients across real estate, medical, retail, and trust industries. Input income, expense, and balance sheet data directly into CCH Axcess, including M-1 book-to-tax reconciliations. Manage 40-60 returns per season across the February-April and August-October 15 filing peaks. Assemble complete work papers and document assumptions for partner review. Accounting & Write-Up Work Analyze client QuickBooks files to identify negative balances, miscategorized transactions, and missing accounts. Prepare adjusting journal entries to correct books before tax preparation. Perform year-end close procedures and reconciliations for clients with incomplete books. Translate P&L and balance sheet data into accurate tax work papers. Client Communication & Information Gathering Request missing documentation (1099s, K-1s, bank statements) directly from clients via email and phone. Flag unusual items — foreign entities, gift returns, large one-time transactions — for partner review before proceeding. Ask targeted clarifying questions when client financials don't reconcile. Software & Workflow Management Track return status, deadlines, and deliverables in Canopy practice management software. Participate in bi-weekly video check-ins and daily team communication via Microsoft Teams. Maintain organized digital work papers in compliance with IT security protocols. Requirements Must-Have 3+ years in a small-to-midsize public accounting / CPA firm serving multiple clients across multiple industries Hands-on preparation of 1120, 1120S, and 1065 corporate tax returns, with 40+ returns completed in a single season Commercial US tax software experience: CCH Axcess, Lacerte, UltraTax, or GoSystem QuickBooks Online and/or Desktop proficiency, including adjusting journal entries, reconciliations, and book-to-tax cleanup Bachelor's degree in Accounting C1+ English (CEFR) Availability Monday-Friday 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM ET, plus 4 hours on Saturdays during tax season (February-April and August-October 15) Nice-to-Have Business-level Spanish fluency Foreign tax compliance exposure (Form 5471, FBAR) IRS notice and correspondence handling experience Enrolled Agent (EA) credential or CPA license from any jurisdiction Prior review or supervision of junior tax preparers Benefits Competitive Salary: Based on experience and skills Remote Work: Fully remote—work from anywhere Team Incentives: Recognition for maintaining 100% CRM hygiene and on-time reporting Generous PTO: In accordance with company policy Health Coverage for PH-based talents: HMO coverage after 3 months for full-time employees Direct Mentorship: Guidance from international industry experts Learning & Development: Ongoing access to resources for professional growth Global Networking: Connect with professionals worldwide Our Recruitment Process Application Screening Skills Assessment Topgrading Interview Client Interview Job Offer Client Onboarding Ready to Join Us?

For people searching Accountant

11,726 accountant jobs open right now — here's where

Most are in the US, but your next role might be somewhere unexpected.

11.726Jobs
3.242US
87%EN

Right now there are 11,726 open accountant positions on WorkMundi. The US leads with 3,242 jobs, followed by India (2,285), Australia (1,359), Philippines (629), and Singapore (441). If you've been thinking your options are limited to one country, look again.

One practical move: search by country first, not just by job title. The accountant role differs in scope, compliance, and day-to-day work depending on where you'd be based. A position in Australia may involve different tax codes, audit standards, and reporting cycles than one in India or the US. Narrowing by location before you read descriptions saves time and helps you spot roles that actually fit your expertise.

When you interview for an accountant role, expect this question: "Walk me through how you'd handle a transaction that doesn't reconcile." Hiring managers ask it because they want to see your troubleshooting method, not just whether you found the error. Practice explaining your logic step-by-step — what you check first, how you document it, and how you escalate if needed. That matters more than the final answer.

WorkMundi offers a free interview rehearsal using your browser voice (no AI, unlimited takes) and a paid AI interview option that listens live and writes your responses as you speak.
