Powder Accounting Group is an accounting firm serving homeowners associations, nonprofits and small businesses in Summit County. Our team keeps the books, so you'll work from clean, closed financials and won't have to chase clients for documents. We're looking for a credentialed preparer to own our clients' business tax returns. Many clients have non-calendar fiscal year-ends, so the work is steady year-round, not crammed into tax season. We'll start with roughly 10–15 returns and have the work to grow this into a larger, long-term role.
This role is a good fit for:
- A self-employed CPA or EA who wants a steady block of year-round business returns without having to find the clients
- An experienced or semi-retired CPA or EA who wants a manageable book of returns each year
What you'll do
- Prepare and sign HOA returns (1120-H, or 1120 with a Rev. Rul. 70-604 election when short-term rentals affect 1120-H eligibility), plus Colorado returns
- Prepare nonprofit returns (990-EZ, 990), including short-period returns from fiscal-year changes
- Prepare 1120, 1120-S and 1065 returns
- Track due dates and file extensions (7004, 8868) across fiscal year-ends
- Deliver each return with a clear payment summary: federal and Colorado balance due, due dates and next-year estimates
- Represent clients on IRS and Colorado notices (balance due, penalties, misapplied payments) under Form 2848, through to resolution
- Meet with clients to review returns, in person in Summit County a few times a year and by video otherwise
Requirements
- Active CPA license or Enrolled Agent credential (required)
- Active PTIN
- 3+ years preparing business returns (1120, 1120-S, 1065); 1120-H and 990 experience a strong plus
- Experience representing clients on IRS and state notices, including penalty abatement
- Based in Colorado and able to meet clients in Summit County a few times a year
Details: Contract (1099), part-time, year-round, flexible schedule. Remote prep with occasional in-person client meetings in Summit County. No benefits are offered for this contract role.
Pay: $40.00 - $80.00 per hour
Benefits:
- Flexible schedule
- Work from home
Application Question(s):
- Do you currently hold an active CPA license or Enrolled Agent (EA) credential?
Work Location: Hybrid remote in Frisco, CO 80443

Tips for Your Remote CPA Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote cpa openings from across the U.S. in one place so you can find roles that match your experience level and apply directly. Remote positions close fast, so checking frequently and applying as soon as a role fits your background gives you a real advantage.
Prove async communication skills upfront
Remote cpa employers screen hard for written clarity because most daily collaboration happens over email, Slack, or project threads. Rewrite your cover letter and any work samples to show you communicate financial findings concisely in writing, without needing a follow-up call to clarify.
Highlight cloud accounting platform proficiency
Remote teams run on tools like QuickBooks Online, NetSuite, Xero, or Sage Intacct. Name the platforms you have used and the scope of work you handled in each, since remote hiring managers treat platform fluency as a signal you can contribute from day one without onboarding overhead.
Frame your results around independent ownership
Remote employers want cpas who manage their own workload without daily check-ins. Reframe resume bullets to show you owned engagements end to end, such as leading a full audit cycle or managing a client portfolio independently, rather than contributing to a team under close supervision.
Remote CPA Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote cpa job?
Remote cpa roles go to candidates who can demonstrate self-direction and strong written communication, since most of your collaboration happens asynchronously over email, Slack, or project management tools. Employers screen for experience with cloud-based accounting platforms and the ability to manage deadlines without in-person oversight. Showing a portfolio of past work, clean audit outcomes, or client results gives you a clear edge over equally credentialed candidates.
Which companies hire remote cpas?
Employers currently hiring remote cpas include TaxWave, Source One Global, and March & McMillin, CPAs, PLLC, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Remote-first accounting firms, distributed financial services companies, and technology businesses with geographically spread finance teams are among the most active hirers of remote cpas.
Can you get a remote cpa job with no experience?
Yes, but entry-level remote cpa roles are harder to land because employers expect you to work independently from day one without in-person mentorship. Remote-first firms and smaller distributed teams are most open to junior candidates. You can strengthen your application by showing completed internships, freelance bookkeeping or tax work, and proficiency in tools like QuickBooks Online or Xero, which signal you can contribute without hand-holding.
Do you need a degree for remote cpa jobs?
Not always, though most cpa roles require a bachelor's degree in accounting or a related field as a baseline, and the CPA license itself has educational requirements tied to it. Remote employers weigh your active CPA license heavily alongside demonstrated results, such as successful audit engagements, client retention, or cost-reduction outcomes, and proficiency with the cloud accounting tools their distributed team already uses.
