Tax / Accounting Assistant

Ozfield is a Des Plaines CPA practice and an insurance agency. This seat is on the tax and accounting side. You will help the tax team get work ready: source documents, bookkeeping, Excel workpapers, and follow-up. A CPA reviews the work. This is not a licensed-signer role and not a staff accountant seat.

Department: Tax Services
Project Location(s): Des Plaines, IL, US

What you will do

  • Pull source documents, organizers, bank and credit-card activity, and prior-year files
  • Bookkeeping in QuickBooks: bills, invoices, bank feeds, and monthly reconciliations
  • Build and clean Excel workpapers (reconciliations, tie-outs, simple pivots)
  • Help with sales tax, payroll, 1099s, and other periodic filings under review
  • Track missing documents and follow up with clients by phone and email
  • Keep paper and digital files complete and ready for review
  • Support busy season volume without cutting corners on detail

What you need

  • Comfortable with numbers and messy source documents
  • Microsoft Excel you can actually use (formulas, filters, basic pivots)
  • QuickBooks experience (Desktop or Online). You have closed a bank rec.
  • Clear English, spoken and written
  • Associate degree, bookkeeping certificate, or equivalent hands-on experience
  • Turkish is a plus. A majority of our clients speak Turkish. Everyone also speaks English.
  • Tax prep or small-business bookkeeping is a plus

Hours and pay

  • Full-time, in office at 2800 S River Rd, Suite 500, Des Plaines, IL 60018
  • Busy season hours as needed
  • Pay: $40,000–$48,000 per year, depending on experience
