About The Position

april is looking for a Tax Analyst who will support tax products across the organization. This individual will be responsible for ensuring the accuracy of our tax calculations and expanding our e-file product to accommodate a broader range of tax scenarios. Their work will help drive revenue while maintaining compliance standards required for e-filing with the IRS and across all states. At april, our Tax Analysts operate at the intersection of data analysis and tax engineering. This role is ideal for someone with a meticulous mindset and an insatiable attention to detail. Do keep in mind that this is a remote role for all parties outside of NYC. NYC residents will be required to follow our hybrid in- office schedule.

Requirements

• Undergraduate in Accounting or a related field (or equivalent real-world experience that proves you know your stuff)
• Comfort living in Google Sheets
• Meticulous attention to detail -— yes, the kind that notices a missing comma or off-by-point-zero-zero-one error
• Strong time-management and organizational skills (you can juggle without dropping things)
• Clear written and verbal communication skills—you can explain tax logic to both tax people and non-tax people
• Curiosity and grit: you like learning new things and don’t give up when the answer isn’t obvious
• A problem-solver’s mindset—you enjoy tracking down edge cases until they surrender

Nice To Haves

• EA certification (or you’re actively working toward one)
• 3+ years experience filing individual income taxes
• Experience reading XML schema and Business Rules
• A knack for complex logic puzzles, brain teasers, or Sudoku style games

Responsibilities

• Turn federal and state tax forms and instructions into clean, structured logic our engineering team can actually build from
• Be the go-to tax brain for product and engineering teams when weird, tricky, or “wait… is this allowed?” questions come up
• Test our tax software outputs obsessively (and proudly) to make sure the numbers are right every time
• Stay ahead of changes in the individual tax code so surprises don’t make it into production
