  • Ensure clients are scheduled properly and conflicts are resolved
  • Lead daily activities to ensure that all tax office associates work is completed according to deadlines, with attention to quality standards, priorities and overall goals
  • Build an engaging team environment by training and coaching associates to execute on Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) and recognizing outstanding associate contributions
  • Lead daily team meetings and communicate essential information to tax office associates
  • Create associate work schedules and ensure accurate timekeeping and overtime management
  • Prepare tax returns, as required, upon successful completion of the Income Tax Course

What you'll bring to the team...

  • Prior experience working in a customer service, shift leader, or similar role
  • Experience supervising or managing people

  • Annual completion of 18-hours of continuing education and ability to meet all other IRS and applicable state requirements
  • Customer-centric mindset with strong communication skills
  • Computer proficient with the ability to use MS Office
  • Demonstrated ability to work independently with minimal supervision
  • Passionate, determined, resilient under stress and a will to win attitude
  • Able to work a flexible work schedule of 40 hours per week and flexibility in work assignments based on business needs
  • HS diploma/GED or higher

It would be even better if you also had...

  • 3+ years as a Tax Professional
