Reports to: the owner Closing Date: 08\.21\.2026 We're a small tax and accounting firm of 7 that runs on three things: humor, honesty, and communication. We don't believe in "tax season"; we work year\-round evenly. We believe good admin is what keeps everybody sane through the busy months, keeps clients calm when they get extended, and keeps the work moving so nobody's scrambling in April. That's your job. You're the connection between our tax and accounting sides, and between our clients and staff. The biggest part of the job Chasing down missing info so our staff can actually do their work. A bookkeeper can't close without the bank statement. A preparer can't finish the return without the last K\-1\. You're the one who finds out what's missing, gets it from the client, and hands it over so the work doesn't stall. We have tools and templates for all of this. You can remind people warmly, persistently, and without needing to be reminded. You also remind and train staff to leave helpful and consistent messages on their projects so that you can do your job. The rest of it Answer phones and client texts through Quo Handle client uploads into the Canopy portal, and teach clients how to upload and how to work with us Run the team's email in Canopy and route it where it goes Schedule meetings with clients and staff Pull bank statements every month so accounting can close on time Light client payroll duties; another staff member files reports and major changes Run Canopy on your own and stay on top of every project and task Keep us in line. Remind and prompt our accountants and tax preparers so tasks get done on time. Yes, you keep us on track. Run the firm’s admin. Most of it's automated, but automation needs a smart human to run it and fix it when it breaks Help with onboarding new clients. We have SOPs and templates but it still needs a human to walk through it with clients Deliver tax returns to clients remotely for e\-sign through Soraban or Canopy Get things to the in\-office admin that need a physical touch. Send billing to clients, send old AR for reminders. Most things are on monthly auto ACH though. Send engagement letters and other items to clients for e\-sign, all templated and ready to send Give feedback when something could be better. Develop processes as needed for new things. Keep up to date on tax and accounting news that may affect our clients or us. Update templates annually before busy season. Other important things I have probably forgotten, but a good admin will he
