Role overview

What does a Tax Preparer do?

Tax season shouldn't be a fire drill. Marco's Tax Preparers handle individual and business tax filings with accuracy and strategic foresight, ensuring you capture every eligible deduction while staying fully compliant. From quarterly estimated payments to year-end filings, they manage the entire tax lifecycle.

What does a remote tax preparer do? They prepare and file federal and state income tax returns, review financial records for accuracy, identify deductions and tax-saving opportunities, prepare quarterly estimated payments, stay current with tax law changes, and coordinate with CPAs on complex matters. They work with software including TurboTax, Drake, Lacerte, and ProConnect. A remote tax preparer costs $1,000–$1,500/month through Marco compared to $5,500/month for a U.S.-based tax preparer.

Frequently Asked Questions

A Tax Preparer prepares and files federal, state, and local tax returns for individuals or businesses — maximizing deductions, ensuring compliance, and meeting all filing deadlines. They typically work with QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, Excel, and financial reporting tools, and are responsible for delivering measurable results that directly impact your business goals.

In the U.S., a Tax Preparer typically costs $5,500/month. Through Marco, you can hire a Tax Preparer from Latin America for $1,500/month, the Philippines for $1,000/month, or South Africa for $1,300/month — saving up to 82% while getting the same quality of work.

A Tax Preparer should have strong proficiency in federal and state tax codes, tax preparation software (Drake, Lacerte, ProConnect), deduction optimization, and filing compliance. CPA, EA, or PTIN credentials and experience with business and individual returns are preferred. Marco's vetting process tests for these skills plus English fluency, communication ability, and remote work readiness before matching candidates to your team.

Hiring a remote Tax Preparer through Marco lets you hire certified professionals (CPAs, ACCAs) who understand US GAAP and international standards, at 70-85% less than domestic hires. Remote Tax Preparers also offer scheduling flexibility — many work US hours — and Marco handles vetting, onboarding, and ongoing support so you can focus on results, not recruitment.
