Location: Remote

Employment Type: Full-Time

Hours: Monday to Friday, 6PM to 3AM IST

ABOUT THE FIRM

We are a U.S.-based tax, accounting, and advisory firm specializing in domestic and international taxation, cross-border planning, business structuring, and regulatory compliance. Our clients include U.S. citizens abroad, foreign nationals with U.S. investments, international entrepreneurs, and companies operating across multiple jurisdictions. As we expand our international tax practice, we're hiring a Senior International Tax Accountant & Advisor to prepare complex returns independently and advise clients on cross-border matters.

ABOUT THE ROLE

This is not a domestic tax preparer role. We need a CPA or Enrolled Agent with substantial, hands-on U.S. international tax experience, particularly with foreign corporations, partnerships, and other business entities, not only foreign individuals. You'll own the full cycle: preparation, review, research, and client advisory.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Independently prepare and review complex U.S. federal and state returns with international components (Forms 1040, 1040-NR, 1120, 1120-S, 1065)
- Handle compliance for expats, nonresident aliens, dual-status taxpayers, foreign-owned U.S. entities, and internationally operating businesses
- Prepare and review Forms 5471, 5472, 8865, and 8858 (foreign corporations, partnerships, disregarded entities, and branches)
- Prepare Forms 1116 and 1118 (foreign tax credits) and Form 2555 (FEIE)
- Prepare Form 8938 and FinCEN 114/FBAR reporting




- Prepare Forms 3520 and 3520-A (foreign trusts and gifts)
- Prepare Form 8621 (PFICs), Forms 8992/8993 (GILTI), and Schedules K-2/K-3
- Handle FIRPTA Forms 8288, 8288-A, and 8288-B, plus Forms W-7 and 8802
- Analyze tax residency, income sourcing, treaty perks, CFC/Subpart F/GILTI exposure, and Section 962 elections
- Evaluate foreign entity classification, ownership structures, and intercompany/related-party transactions
- Advise on FTC, FEIE, Totalization Agreements, and cross-border relocations
- Reconcile financial statements and general ledgers to tax returns, and translate foreign financials into U.S. reporting
- Research complex issues, write tax memos, and communicate clearly with clients and internal teams
- Identify filing deadlines and penalty exposure, and prepare amended returns and compliance corrections

WHAT YOU'LL BRING (REQUIRED)

- Active CPA or Enrolled Agent (EA) credential
- 3-5+ years of hands-on U.S. tax preparation, with substantial international tax work
- Demonstrated experience preparing complex international individual and business returns
- Direct experience with foreign corporations, partnerships, and other entities (5471, 5472, 8865, 8858)
- Practical experience with 1116, 1118, 2555, 8938, FBAR, and 3520/3520-A
- Exposure to multiple foreign jurisdictions (e.g., UK,



Canada, Australia, UAE, Singapore, Europe)
- Strong command of tax residency, foreign income reporting, and foreign tax credits
- Ability to research unfamiliar international tax issues independently
- Excellent English communication, attention to detail, and deadline management
- Ability to work independently in a remote, deadline-driven environment

Candidates without a CPA or EA credential, or with experience limited to domestic Form 1040 preparation or basic foreign income reporting, will not meet the requirements of this role.
