## About this task

This digital bank focused on commercial property (5,000+ 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 is a regulated bank; the work is documented and reviewed before anything is signed off.

The team sits in Washington, D.C.. 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

- 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

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

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

## 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

## Who fits

- 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.
