• Familiarity with tools like Anchor, Ramp, Keeper, Gusto, Avalara, and project management platforms
• Proven success working remotely and directly with clients
• Strong organizational and communication skills
• Commitment to maintaining and expanding software certifications
Compensation & Benefits
• Salary: $50,000 – $70,000 per year (based on experience and skill fit)
