## About this task

This Series C vertical software provider (501–1,000 employees) is looking for a manager Tax Preparation Support for a single piece of work with a fixed scope and a fixed price. Trial balance mapping and schedules for a partnership or corporate return.

A fresh pair of experienced eyes is needed, and the result is a document or file the team can use straight away. The company sells subscription software, so deadlines follow release and billing cycles.

The team sits in Calgary. Everything can be done remotely; an occasional visit is welcome and never required for the first month. You choose your hours; nothing is scheduled except an occasional short call.

## What you deliver

- Map a trial balance to a Form 1065 workpaper set and prepare the M-1 and M-2 schedules.

- A final note stating what was checked and what was left out of scope

- The finished deliverable in the agreed file format, with sources and assumptions listed

- A 20-minute walkthrough call, or a recorded screen share if you prefer

## How the work runs

- Day 1: scope confirmed in writing, files shared

- Middle of the period: draft shared for early feedback

- Last day: final version and handover note

**Duration:** 2 to 3 weeks. Accepted when the company contact confirms the deliverable against the written checklist. One round of edits is included.

## Tools

UltraTax Excel

## Who fits

- Comfortable explaining numbers or decisions to a non-specialist reader

## Not included
