Flexible, Virtual Accounting & Tax Positions
Hiring Process in 3 Steps
We look forward to learning more about you!
STEP 1: COMPLETE AN APPLICATION
Due to the number of applicants, Hiring Firms are unable to interview all applicants. However, they do keep all applications on file. The application process may include additional questionnaires.
STEP 2: TOP 10 CANDIDATES
If selected as one of the Top 10 Candidates, you will receive an email with next steps, and a link to book an initial video interview w/the Hiring Firm. Top 10 candidates may be asked to complete technical tests.
STEP 3: FINAL 3 CANDIDATES
If selected as one of the Final 3 Candidates, you will be invited to schedule a final interview, and the hired candidate is usually required to complete a full screening (including background checks and profiles) as a condition of the offer.
Who Should Apply?
Virtual, flexible jobs are best for accountants or tax professionals that are not ready to start their own solo practice or who want to supplement their solo practice long-term. Most positions require at least 10 – 20 hours a week of availability minimum. If you are an accounting professional who wants to replace your J.O.B. with a virtual position at a family friendly accounting or tax firm, this is the right place for you. There are positions available for men and non-CPAs. Please feel free to apply to as many positions that you feel are a good fit for you. Unless specifically stated in the job post, this is generally not the right opportunity for someone who has their own firm.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it cost anything to apply for a job?
No.
Do I need a CPA license to be hired?
No. Any accounting or tax professional may apply provided that you are physically based in the US. Some firms post jobs on our Job Board looking to hire CPAs, but not all jobs require you to hold an active CPA license. It will be clearly indicated in the Job Post.
How do I increase my chances of being selected for an interview?
There is no perfect formula; however, there are a few best practices that we can recommend that you follow to increase your chances of being selected:
1) Make sure you are receiving our weekly newsletter, new jobs are posted there.
2) Apply for jobs as they come up.
3) Stay active in the Facebook community, new jobs are posted there and you never know who is watching.
What types of positions are available?
There are a large variety of positions:
– part time and full-time
– permanent and seasonal
– W2 and independent contractor
We ask that Hiring Firms post only virtual jobs, but working on-site is optional if both parties agree.
Basically, there is something for everyone.
Any opportunities to gain experience for my CPA license?
Yes. Many professionals in our community are looking to gain their CPA experience hours to complete their CPA license requirements and need to work under a licensed CPA. Also, others may have had difficulty finding work due to a lack of real world experience.
That being said, these positions are somewhat rare. Most Hiring Firms who use our Marketplace are small firms with less than 5 people on the team. As such, not all Hiring Firms are able to “sign-off” on CPA experience hours because of the administrative burden of compliance. That being said, if you are willing to work for rates that are low enough to justify the extra administration or can bring other value or skills to the team, you may be able to find the opportunity you are looking for.
Is there a guarantee that I'll be selected for interview?
No. There is no guarantee that you will be selected for a job interview when you apply for a job on the Job Board.
What can I expect if I apply for a job or if selected for an interview?
If you apply for a job on the Job Board, you will only be notified if you are selected for an interview. The process can take 1-4 weeks before a Hiring Firm is ready to start the interview process.
If you are selected for an interview, you will be given a chance to review the job posting first and you will have up to 2 business days to accept or reject the interview. If you accept the interview, you are agreeing to book an interview within 10 days of the request and agree to show up.
By accepting the interview, you are also saying that you are still available for hire based on the terms of the job posting.
If you are entertaining another job offer, please be fully transparent. If they choose to move forward with the interview, knowing that you have other offers on the table or are currently actively pursuing other opportunities, they do so at their own risk.
What if I have a job or have clients?
It depends on the Hiring Firm. We generally advise Hiring Firms not to hire professionals with full-time jobs. It becomes very difficult for both parties to navigate around the job. Part-time jobs with flexibility can work quite successfully.
Also, it is common and sometimes recommended that Hiring Firms outsource work to freelance professionals who already have a book of clients. This is usually seasonal work or may be a situation where the Hiring Firm is still in early stages of growth and can not make any guarantees on client hours.
The most important thing to consider is to be fully transparent up front at the beginning and explain your situation and what you are looking for. There is generally someone for everyone.
