Enrolled Agent (EA), Part-Time, Hourly: IRS Representation, Gainesville, FL

Enrolled Agent (EA), Part-Time, Hourly: IRS Representation, Gainesville, FL

Profit Solutions is a founder-led bookkeeping, payroll and tax firm in downtown Gainesville. We're adding an Enrolled Agent, part-time, to represent our small business clients before the IRS.

Pay: $35 an hour to start, more for strong IRS representation experience.

Hours: Part-time and flexible. Our representation work runs all year, so it fits around your tax season.

Where: Gainesville area. Client meetings in person when it helps, some time in our downtown office, the rest from wherever you work best.

What you'll do

- Represent small business owners before the IRS under Form 2848: federal tax liens, payroll tax cases, collection notices, installment agreements, lien releases and withdrawals, and penalty relief requests.

- Help clients get current: review the back returns we prepare for unfiled years.

- Sit down with worried owners and explain plainly where they stand and what their choices are. We never promise outcomes. We help owners get current and deal with what's owed.

- Work side by side with our accountant, who keeps the books and takes the first call.

What you need

- Active Enrolled Agent status in good standing and a current PTIN.

- Real IRS representation experience: collection and lien cases, not only return preparation.

- Based in or near Gainesville and able to meet in person.

- A plain-English way with business owners who are under stress.

Nice to have

- Payroll tax (Form 941) and trust fund recovery penalty cases.

- Florida Department of Revenue and sales tax experience.

- QuickBooks Online.

Why you'll like it

- Steady representation work the rest of the year, around your busy season.

- No selling. Clients come to us; you do the work you trained for.

- A small team, a downtown office, and a founder you'll actually work with.
