Gibson & Reynolds

• Staff Tax Preparer

  • Feb 2013 - May 2013

  At this position, I used Intuit's Lacerte tax program to prepare individual tax returns and keep a work-in-process spread sheet that was due each Friday to track progress on the returns. It was turned into the partners so they could know how much progress each employee had made throughout the week. This CPA Firm has hired me on a temporary basis on three occasions to assist during their busy season - once as an intern and twice as a staff preparer.
