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.
