Job Description
US Tax Accountant
The Back Room Offshoring Inc.
Role Description This is a dual-focus tax associate role — split across corporate income tax compliance and R&D Tax Credit Studies for a portfolio of US startup clients. You'll be preparing and reviewing federal, state, and local corporate returns, building out R&D credit studies end-to-end, and working closely with managers and clients to keep engagements on track. If you're a tax professional who wants breadth, real ownership, and exposure to fast-moving industries like software and biotech — this is a seat worth taking. What You'll Do - Prepare and review federal, state, and local corporate income tax returns (including international forms); manage client files and communications to keep engagements moving. - Conduct direct tax research to stay current on legislation, monitor client businesses, and support timely, relevant tax advice in collaboration with managers. - Maintain accounting and tax records to support filed returns and financial statement accounting; identify and implement best practices across the direct tax function. - Prepare and deliver R&D Tax Credit Studies from end to end — including Sec 174 calculations, work papers, technical interview documentation, and R&D Study Reports. - Review financial statements to identify R&D opportunities; grow working knowledge of software and biotech industries to accurately support qualified research activities. - Manage multiple R&D projects simultaneously; update the team project tracker regularly and flag risks early. - Learn and leverage the firm's tax software suite; identify opportunities to improve processes through data analytics and cross-functional collaboration. Qualifications - Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Business, Economics, Tax, or a related field, with 2–4 years of hands-on experience in income tax and/or R&D tax credits. - Solid understanding of tax principles with strong attention to detail and accuracy. - Strong Excel skills and comfort with data analysis and calculations. - Able to manage multiple priorities and projects without dropping the ball. - Excellent written and verbal communication skills — this is a remote, client-facing role and responsiveness matters. - Self-driven and genuinely curious — someone who grows through research, continuing education, and asking the right questions. Nice to Have - Hands-on experience with R&D Credit, Sec 174, and/or Corporate Direct Tax. - Familiarity with SaaS, FinTech, or life sciences taxation and international income tax. - Proficiency in UltraTax and/or experience with tax provision work. - CPA, EA, or progress toward a Master's in Taxation. - Experience presenting tax findings or solutions directly to clients. Why This Role Most tax roles at this level keep you in one lane. This one gives you two — direct tax compliance and R&D credits — across a client base of high-growth US startups. You'll build dual expertise that's genuinely rare at the associate level, with a clear path toward client ownership and more senior responsibility. Burkland is a remote-first firm that invests in its people, and this seat is for someone who wants to grow, not just execute.
