Seasonal Tax Preparer

Lemont, PA 16851, US Contract
Compensation: $46 to $50 Hourly

Seasonal Tax Preparer (EA Required)


Location: Central PA | Onsite


Ready to make your busiest season your most profitable one?

A growing, well-established tax firm is looking for a Seasonal Tax Preparer with an active EA license to jump in for tax season and make an impact. If you enjoy working with people, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and want to maximize your earnings in just a few months, this could be the perfect fit.


Why This Role Stands Out

  • Earn ~$40K in just 4 months (Jan–April)
  • Average 50 hours/week (~$50/hour equivalent)
  • Paid time off included
  • Strong potential to stay on long-term or go full-time


What You’ll Be Doing

  • Preparing accurate individual tax returns
  • Meeting with clients and helping them feel confident about their finances
  • Reviewing W-2s, 1099s, and supporting docs
  • Explaining returns, refunds, and balances in a clear, friendly way
  • Answering client questions and solving problems on the spot
  • Keeping everything organized, confidential, and compliant
  • Pitching additional services when it makes sense
  • Jumping in to help with general office needs during peak season



Qualifications:


What We’re Looking For

  • Active Enrolled Agent (EA) license – required
  • Experience with individual tax prep
  • Strong people skills – you actually enjoy talking to clients
  • Detail-oriented and deadline-driven
  • Someone who thrives when things get busy


What to Expect

  • Full-time availability January through April
  • Flexibility for evenings + weekends during peak times
  • Option to stay involved after tax season in a reduced or ongoing role

💡 Bottom line: This is perfect for an EA who wants to work hard, earn big during tax season, and potentially grow into something long-term—all while helping clients navigate one of the most important parts of their financial year.
