SDO CPA US Expat Tax Accountant (CPA, EA or JD) Remote · Full time

Apply for US Expat Tax Accountant (CPA, EA or JD)

Location: Remote

We help Americans living abroad get and stay compliant with their US tax obligations. We are a highly energetic, positive, and resourceful team working virtually globally. We believe that execution excellence is the key to success. We seek 3 Expat Tax Accountants (CPA, EA, or JD) to work as Independent Contractors with us.

At SDO CPA, we provide our US Expat Tax Accountants (CPA, EA, or JD) with the tools that they need to be successful, and we bring our clients to them so that they can focus on preparing expat taxes and providing exceptional customer care! This is ideal for an experienced accountant who does not want to do the marketing, operations, or billing required to grow a practice.

This is NOT a traditional remote accounting job; it’s a business built on our platform. You would work with SDO CPA clients as an independent contractor and are paid for your completed clients. This role is ideal for US Expat Tax Accountants (CPA, EA, or JD) who love the idea of their earning potential being tied to their individual accomplishments, are obsessively organized, and have a natural flair for customer care.

What we’re looking for:

• CPAs, EAs, or JDs (with LLM in Taxation) with at least three years of experience preparing US expat tax returns, including specific experience with the additional forms and schedules required for expats (1116, 2555, FinCen 114,5471, 3520, etc.). Business tax preparation (1065, 1120, 8865, 5471, 5472, etc.) experience is a big plus!
• As an independent contractor, you will manage your schedule and workload. There are no set hours. You get paid for the work you do and your results. You take on as many customers as you choose.
• People who see technology as an enabler and embrace it fully. We use state-of-the-art systems (Salesforce, Box, ProSeries, and Lacerte).
• Accountants who are incredibly organized, especially in managing deadlines. This is a deadline-driven business, so anyone frazzled near a tax deadline or disorganized will struggle.
• Strong attention to detail.

Why work with SDO CPA?

• Again, this is not a traditional 9-to-5 accounting job–you are independent. There are no set hours; you work directly with clients on our platform, and your earnings are based on your results.
• No office/no commute. You have the ultimate flexibility to decide where you work from and when you work –beyond even your standard work-from-home accounting job. Want to spend tax season in your home office and the slower season working a lighter load from Mexico, Bali, or the coast of Spain? Many on our team do just that!
• You get paid directly in proportion to how many tax returns you complete and the service you provide. Your earning potential is unlimited, and a good number of the accountants on our team earn six figures. If you’re ambitious, have high expertise in US expat tax prep, work hard, and stay organized, this is an excellent opportunity.
• This remote accounting job is ideal for people who are happy to work independently but don’t want to manage business logistics like marketing, customer acquisition, billing, customer service, etc.
• We’re maniacal about customer care. We expect everyone to have an experience with us that makes them want to go straight out and tell their friends how wonderful SDO CPA is. Accountants who feel that’s important thrive with us and love their customers' happiness at the end of each tax season.
• You will have access to a peer group of accountants who are the best in the industry regarding US expat taxes and customer-centricity.

Why you should join SDO CPA

Our company is focused on planning up-front and being highly organized, so we minimize long hours and crazy busy seasons.

We understand you have a life to live, so we're focused on automation and doing the hard work up-front so everything else is more accessible later.

We encourage our team members to contribute ideas regarding user experience, onboarding, and workflow management, allowing everyone to impact our service and client success.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who desires to progress within a team growing over the next year.
