Tax Accountant

Remote Tax Accountant (Contract, July – October)$75,000 - $95,000 (incl super) pro-rata

Looking for flexible, fully remote tax work this season?

We’re hiring a tax accountant to join our small, online-first tax firm and help support our high-volume individual tax returns from July to October 2025, for 20+ hours per week.

This is a 100% remote, contract position with fully flexible hours. Set your own schedule to match your lifestyle. 

We don’t do client calls or appointments, as client data is gathered electronically. So you’ll chat to clients only by email, and you’ll work closely with the business owner via email as well. This is ideal for someone who enjoys focused, independent work, and wants to avoid the grind of endless tax-time appointments and phone calls.

About the Role

You’ll be helping prepare and review individual and small business tax returns for our three specialised micro-businesses:

• DriveTax – tax for Uber, rideshare & delivery drivers
• EasyBnbTax – tax for Airbnb hosts
• RocketTax – general individual returns for a small number of legacy clients

All client communication is handled via email only. You won’t need to take calls or appointments, or attend meetings, but you will need to:

• Work independently and reliably
• Deliver accurate, high-quality returns efficiently
• Follow existing processes and documentation

What You’ll Be Doing

• Preparing individual tax returns (primarily rideshare and Airbnb clients)
• Communicating with the business owner via email for review, follow-up, and clarification
• Ensuring each return is correct, compliant, and client-ready
• Liaising with clients via email for queries and clarifications 
• Occasionally preparing BAS’s for rideshare clients
• Keeping clear, organised records within our simple, efficient system
• Receiving support from our rockstar remote admin manager

What We’re Looking For

• Degree-qualified tax accountant. CPA/CA is a bonus but not a requirement 
• Minimum 3+ years experience in Australian public practice, preparing individual and small business tax returns from start to finish.
• Excellent knowledge of tax rules and legislation for small business, rental properties and Capital Gains Tax
• High attention to detail and ability to work without supervision
• Comfortable working 100% remotely and communicating exclusively via email
• A wizard with Xero Tax, Google Sheets and other accounting tools
• Familiarity with tax law for the gig-economy (rideshare, delivery, Airbnb) is a plus
• Must reside in Australia and have full rights to work in Australia 
• Must be available for a few evening onboarding calls in the first week of July

Perks & Pay

• Contractor Hourly Rate - equivalent to $75,000 - $95,000 (incl super), based on experience and independence
• Fully remote and async - work from anywhere in Australia, on your own schedule
• No client calls, no team meetings – just clear, documented processes
• Additional hours may be offered (100% optional) in line with business needs during peak periods
• Small, friendly, low-drama team
• High-volume workflow during tax season = meaningful, focused work
• No six-minute timesheets!
• Laptop provided
