About Us

Business Financial Group (BFG) provides high-quality tax preparation, planning, accounting, and advisory services supported by a skilled back-office team.

To support our growing client base, we are seeking experienced CPAs to join us as contract tax reviewers and client-facing advisors.

Position Overview

  • Serve as the official signing tax preparer for approved returns.

  • Maintain compliance with PTIN and state licensing requirements.

  • Ensure ethical and professional responsibilities are met in accordance with AICPA standards and IRS Circular 230.

3. Client Interaction

  • Conduct scheduled client meetings (virtual) as required for the engagement.

  • Walk clients through their completed returns, addressing questions and explaining tax positions.

  • Provide high-level tax guidance within the context of the return.

  • Collaborate with BFG’s Client Service team regarding follow-up requirements or additional client needs.

4. Documentation & Communication

  • Maintain timely communication with internal tax staff and management.

  • Use BFG’s workflows, checklists, and review templates to ensure consistency.

  • Document notes, recommendations, and required adjustments in our system.

Workload & Expectations

  • Contractor, flexible schedule, remote work environment.

  • Volume will vary seasonally (especially peak January–April).

  • Compensation paid per return or hourly—based on complexity and agreement.
    Must be able to meet deadlines and maintain high accuracy standards.


Requirements

  • Active PTIN.

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.

  • Comfort with virtual client meetings and remote collaboration tools.
