## About this task

This Series B AI research company (201–500 employees) is looking for a specialist Tax Preparation Support for a single piece of work with a fixed scope and a fixed price. Calculates quarterly estimates and safe-harbour amounts.

The company has a deadline, no one free to own it, and wants a person who has done the same job before. It builds AI products and needs human experts to check what the models produce.

The work is fully remote. Any location in United States works, with a few hours of overlap with the team's day. You choose your hours; nothing is scheduled except an occasional short call. About 2 hours a week should overlap with the team's day (ET).

## What you deliver

- Compute Q4 estimated payments for a sole proprietor using the prior-year safe harbour and current-year income.

- 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

- One round of edits after the company's review is included

## How the work runs

- Day 1: kickoff call and access to the files

- Days 2 to 4: the work, with questions answered the same day

- Last day: delivery and a short walkthrough

**Duration:** about 10 working days. Accepted when the company contact confirms the deliverable against the written checklist. One round of edits is included.

## Tools

Excel Lacerte

## Who fits

- 2-5 years of hands-on work as a Tax Preparation Support, or the equivalent mix of roles

- Comfortable working in Excel and Lacerte

- A professional qualification is required for any sign-off; the company keeps the final signature, you prepare and review.

- Your own work history stays private; the company sees a first name, your field and a rate

### Nice to have

- Has worked with a distributed team across time zones

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

## Not included

- Work outside the scope written in the brief; extra items are quoted separately

- Anything that needs a signature in your own name unless the brief says so

- A signature or opinion in your own name: sign-off stays with the company

## How you get paid

- The company prepays Deftridge before your first hour, so payment does not depend on a late invoice.

- Deftridge pays you in USD after the company confirms the hours or the deliverable. The payment date is written in your task agreement.

- You work as an independent contractor: you report your own income, and your recruiter sends the statements your accountant needs.

- You never chase the company. Questions about money go to Deftridge.

1. **You agree the rate** You and the recruiter fix an exact rate inside the company's range. You decide whether to go ahead.
