Role description

From the employer

This is a remote position.

Are you an experienced accounting professional with a tax background, ready to grow into a leadership role as we build our US tax practice?

BooksTime is looking for an experienced, tax-savvy accountant who is excited about leadership, technology, and strong client relationships. This is a unique opportunity to **start by doing the high-level senior accounting work you already do well** — and then, little by little, **grow into a Senior Tax Manager role,** taking ownership of our US tax engagements and eventually helping lead the tax practice as it scales.

BooksTime is proud to be recognized on the **Inc. 5000** list of America's fastest-growing private companies. We're building a modern, technology-forward accounting company that embraces automation and innovation — alongside trusted partner relationships with our clients — to create better experiences for both clients and team members.

If you're looking for meaningful work, real career growth, flexibility, and the chance to help shape a tax practice from the ground up, we'd love to hear from you.

**Why Join BooksTime?**

**A Clear Path into Tax Leadership**

You'll begin in a senior accounting capacity and progressively take on more tax responsibility — reviewing returns, building processes, and ultimately helping lead our US tax practice. We promote from within and invest in people who want to grow.

**High-Impact Work**

You'll work directly with business owners and leadership teams to improve financial visibility, accounting operations, and tax outcomes — and your decisions will shape how the practice runs.

**Modern Accounting Environment**

We embrace technology, automation, process improvement, and AI-enabled tools to continuously improve the way we serve clients and support our teams.

**Variety & Continuous Learning**

Our clients span multiple industries, systems, and business models, providing constant opportunities to learn, grow, and solve new challenges.

**Flexible Remote Culture**

We believe flexibility and accountability can coexist. Our remote-first culture is built on trust, communication, collaboration, and ownership.

Requirements

**What You'll Do**

**In this role, you will start by:**

  • Leading accounting relationships for a portfolio of clients as a trusted advisor
  • Reviewing and analyzing financial statements and serving as a high-level resource for complex accounting issues
  • Supporting and mentoring our international bookkeeping team
  • Preparing and reviewing **US tax returns** (individual and business) alongside our existing tax resources
  • Collaborating on internal process, technology, and efficiency initiatives

**As you grow into the Senior Tax Manager role, you'll take on:**

  • Ownership of **review and sign-off** on US federal and state returns (1040, 1120, 1120-S, 1065, and 990 as the practice grows)
  • Building a **team of tax preparers,** including our offshore staff in the Philippines
  • Setting **quality control, workflows, and tax-season capacity planning**
  • Acting as a **tax advisor** on planning and strategy for SME
  • Partnering with ownership to **shape service lines and grow the practice**

**Who We're Looking For**

We're looking for someone who is

  • Comfortable taking ownership and leading client relationships independently
  • An excellent communicator and relationship-builder
  • Knowledgeable in US taxation, with the judgment to review and stand behind a return
  • Experienced in managing or mentoring people, and interested in leading a team
  • Adaptable and eager to learn new technologies, systems, and modern accounting practices
  • Organized and able to manage multiple priorities and deadlines

Ideal experience includes

  • Experience **managing multiple clients or entities** and mentoring teams
  • Experience with cloud-based accounting and professional tax
