filed is hiring a Business Tax Expert to lead the development and refinement of the tax frameworks that will train our AI models to automate complex U.S. business returns. You will sit at the intersection of deep tax expertise, AI training, and high-trust workflows, building the backbone of how AI learns to prepare business taxes.
What You'll Do
- Establish the comprehensive business tax knowledge framework for AI training, covering core workflows, complex scenarios, and edge cases for 1065, 1120, and 1120-S returns.
- Integrate and validate business tax logic within the AI model, running targeted tests to confirm accuracy and compliance while collaborating closely with engineering and machine learning teams.
- Evaluate model outputs for business returns and implement targeted improvements based on accuracy findings to enhance performance and reliability.
- Design and test frameworks that will fundamentally change how business taxes are prepared in the U.S.
- Build an internal tax 'oracle' so precise that we can predict and solve issues before they happen.
What We're Looking For
- Extensive hands-on experience preparing and reviewing complex 1065, 1120, and 1120-S returns, including multi-state and industry-specific scenarios.
- Proven experience designing structured workflows, decision trees, and documentation to capture tax logic for training AI models.
- A demonstrated ability to identify errors, edge cases, and compliance issues before they impact the final return or model outputs.
- Skill in clearly communicating tax concepts to engineering, ML, and product teams, translating technical tax requirements into actionable build steps.
- A track record of designing innovative approaches to improve accuracy, efficiency, and scalability in tax processes.
- Proficiency in at least one major business tax software such as Drake, UltraTax, GoSystems, Axcess, or ProConnect.
- Comfort working in spreadsheets (Excel/Google Sheets) for testing, documentation, and framework mapping.
- Experience with collaborative tools (e.g., Miro, Notion) for process design and documentation.
Nice to Have
- Proficiency in multiple major business tax software packages.
- A track record of owning measurable accuracy improvements, not just completing returns.
Team & Environment
You will be joining and expanding an already 30-person team, working closely with engineering, machine learning, and product teams. We operate week-to-week with ruthless speed and need a collaborative operator—no lone wolves.
Benefits & Compensation
- Paid above market rates.
- Earn equity that grows fast.
- Full autonomy to make high-impact decisions.
- Reviews every 4 months with total transparency around pay, performance, and progress.
