## About this task

This health insurer covering fleets and logistics (5,000+ employees) is looking for a senior Tax Preparation Support for a monthly bundle of recurring tasks, 8–12 h a month. Collects source documents and prepares workpapers for review.

The same kind of work comes back every month, so the company prefers one person with an hours cap over ad-hoc requests. It is an insurer, so accuracy and an audit trail come before speed.

The work is fully remote. Any location in Canada works, with a few hours of overlap with the team's day. Most people do this on weekday evenings; replies inside the working day are not expected. About 2 hours a week should overlap with the team's day (ET).

## What you deliver

- Prepare workpapers for 15 individual returns from client documents, with open questions listed for the preparer.

- A running log of open questions, reviewed at the start of each week

- A month-end summary with hours used against the cap

- The monthly list of items completed, each with a link to the result

## What a month looks like

- Start of month: the company shares the items and the priorities

- Mid-month: progress check of 15 minutes

- Month end: hours used against the cap, results and open items

**Duration:** 12 weeks, with a monthly hours cap. Accepted on the company's written OK. If something is missed, you fix it in the same week at no extra charge to either side.

## Tools

CCH Axcess Lacerte Excel

## Who fits

- 5-10 years of hands-on work as a Tax Preparation Support, or the equivalent mix of roles

## Not included

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

## How you get paid
