Champion Tax Relief | Remote | Full-Time | Year-Round
Annual base salary: $90,000–$95,000, depending on relevant experience and qualifications

Champion Tax Relief is seeking an experienced, hands-on tax professional to help small-business owners with IRS back tax problems complete overdue returns. You’ll prepare and review returns, coordinate preparers and contractors, and partner with client-facing staff to keep work moving from records to filing. This is a working team-lead role—not a primarily administrative management position.

What you’ll do

Focus on practical preparation for cash-basis small businesses with multiple years of unfiled returns or incomplete records. Returns include individuals with Schedule C, S corporations, partnerships, C corporations where applicable, and related state filings—not international tax, estate and gift returns, or sophisticated corporate tax planning.

• Prepare current- and prior-year returns, including Forms 1040, 1120-S, 1065, and 1120, within your demonstrated competence.

• Prioritize daily work, coordinate employee and contractor assignments, and move files through review, approval, and filing.

• Review records and prior filings for gaps and inconsistencies; coordinate bookkeeping or reconstruction needed to complete returns.

• Maintain clear, supportable workpapers, apply appropriate tax treatment and supported deductions, and research or escalate uncertain issues.

• Self-review returns, review others’ work within your competence, coordinate technical review, and ensure corrections are completed.

• Resolve information and approval delays with client-facing staff, assigning a clear owner and next action to each file.

• Update leadership on progress, capacity, and deadline risks; follow through on filing, e-file rejections, and documented outcomes.

• Improve procedures and handoffs, guide preparers, and coordinate with the lead enrolled agent and resolution team.

Required qualifications

• Valid PTIN and any required registrations.
• Recent tax preparation experience with individuals and small businesses, especially Schedule C and S corporations.
• Strong small business accounting knowledge; experience with prior year returns and incomplete records.
• Leadership experience coordinating preparers, reviewing work, or managing engagements.
• Sound technical judgment, accuracy, and strong organizational and communication skills.
• Tax software and remote-tool proficiency; full-time, year-round remote availability; secure handling of taxpayer information.

Preferred qualification

Active EA or CPA credential; relevant experience and demonstrated competence matter most.

The role and team

Report to our lead-enrolled agent, lead day-to-day preparation, and continue preparing and reviewing returns. Ensure preparation reliably supports the resolution team, which handles IRS negotiations and resolution strategy.

This full-time, remote, year-round role requires regular collaboration during agreed business hours and secure handling of taxpayer information under the firm’s data security requirements.

How to apply

Submit your résumé and a short explanation of:

• Your recent hands-on return preparation experience, including Schedule C, S corporations, prior-year returns, and incomplete business records.

• Your experience coordinating preparers or contractors, reviewing work, or leading engagements through completion.

• The professional tax software you’ve used, your EA or CPA status if applicable, and your availability for full-time, year-round work.

Finalists will complete a paid practical exercise using fictional or de-identified information. We’ll assess preparation judgment, issue identification, workpaper quality, workflow prioritization, and communication—not just speed. We’ll also check professional references.

What We Offer:

• Fully remote work environment.

• Competitive compensation based on experience.

• A steady pipeline of challenging IRS and state tax resolution cases.

• A collaborative, supportive team that focuses exclusively on tax controversy and resolution.

• The opportunity to make a meaningful impact by helping businesses and business owners resolve difficult tax problems and move forward with confidence.

Work Environment:

This is a remote position performed from a dedicated home office. Must reside in the United States.

Employees must maintain:

• A reliable computer capable of running Microsoft 365 and other required business applications.

• High-speed internet with dependable video conferencing and telephone capabilities.

• A quiet, private workspace free from regular distractions.

• Availability and responsiveness during normal business hours in the Central Time Zone, including participation in virtual meetings and timely communication with clients and team members.

Physical Demands:

• Ability to remain in a stationary position (sitting or standing) for extended periods during the workday.

• Ability to use a computer, keyboard, mouse, and telephone for prolonged periods.

• Ability to communicate effectively verbally and in writing, including participating in video conferences.

• Ability to type accurately and efficiently to perform essential job functions

Champion Tax Relief — Vivid Vision
Our Goal by 2029
The absolute #1 company for small business owners to resolve their IRS back tax
problems.
Recognized as the #1 leader in solving business owners’ back tax problems — by the
accounting profession and by our clients.
Who We Serve
While most tax resolution companies service the mass market in a cookie-cutter way, our firm
services only the most complex IRS back tax problems — specifically for self-employed people
and small business owners.
Most of our clients owe a minimum of $100,000 in back taxes, haven’t filed in years (often with
no records to file with), and the IRS is knocking at their door. Clients come to us because we are
so specialized — and because we deliver results others simply can’t.
The work we do directly impacts people’s livelihoods. It protects their finances, their businesses,
their marriages, and gives them a newfound path forward that has eluded them for years.

Our Culture

• Work hard, enjoy it while we do.
• People feel respected working here — their opinions matter. We aren’t looking for “yes men.”
• A-player only environment. If you can make things happen on your own, you’re a great fit.
• We strongly value our employees. How we treat our team directly relates to the results we bring to clients.
• Self-motivated, entrepreneurial individuals who want greater responsibility and autonomy —and who can self-manage.
• The company runs autonomously — systems and personnel so solid that everything gets done, right, the first time.
• Excellent systems. We’ve been around the block, and we know exactly what’s needed to deliver for our clients.

Code word: Apricot
