  • Support timely e-filing, return assembly, and completion processes.
  • Help refine internal preparation and review procedures to improve accuracy, consistency, and efficiency.



Client Communication & Planning Awareness

  • Communicate directly with clients regarding missing documents, open items, return status, and next steps.
  • Provide clear, professional, and timely updates to clients and internal team members.
  • Manage client relationships independently while escalating complex matters when appropriate.
  • Identify potential tax planning opportunities during return preparation and communicate them to the Tax Planning team.
  • Support a client experience that is accurate, responsive, and professional.



Workflow & Team Support

  • Manage multiple client files and deadlines with urgency and accountability.
  • Follow firm workflows, checklists, task systems, and documentation standards.
  • Support process improvements that reduce errors, improve review readiness, and increase efficiency.
  • Assist with training, mentoring, and development of future tax staff as needed.
  • Stay current on tax law changes, IRS updates, and preparation requirements.
