Needs to hire 2 Freelancers
Summary

We are an accounting, tax, and advisory firm serving licensed professionals, established business owners, and nonprofit leaders. We are expanding our in-house capacity rather than referring this work out, and we are building a team for the long term. ***NOTE: the $3,000 shown is the initial four-week contract value ($750/week base); total compensation with revenue share is documented up to $10,000/month.*** ***Please see attached Compensation Structure PDF*** We need two (2) US-based contract CPAs to help grow our virtual firm. The candidates MUST have a current U.S. CPA license (will be verified on state and national databases; international equivalents will not be considered), and must be available for 20-25 hours per week to: - take short discovery calls - attend and facilitate video consultations with prospects and clients - assist with and lead client accounting and tax resolutions, and - advise on client business and nonprofit development matters. The candidates will be paid $750 weekly, with bonuses on revenue-generating work (paid consultations, funded loan packages, entity formation guidance, etc.) totaling up to $10,000/mo in compensation. The commitment will NOT go past 25 hours/week. Contract-to-hire preferred, but we do not want an employee. After eight consecutive weeks (maybe sooner, depending on production), the weekly base compensation will increase to a $1,000/wk (+ bonuses and revenue-share still run to $10,000 per month total). Tasks include: - attending and providing expert insight during paid consultations - historical book reconstruction for businesses and nonprofits - filing individual and business tax returns, advising on tax resolution and future tax planning - assisting with business loan packaging projects, and - entity structuring and support. No attest work will be required. Non-client facing time will consist of: - consulting on our firm's growth and development - generating educational content for enhanced web-presence, and - supporting our internal compliance and documentation standards Additional requirements: - must be comfortable working under NDA, non-solicitation and independent contractor agreements - experience consulting licensed professionals, nonprofit leaders, and established business owners - open to the opportunity to grow as we expand (no agencies or off-shore companies) More details and answers will be provided in virtual meeting. Thank you for your consideration.
