CCH ProSystem fx Tax Specialist

What you'll do

This is software-specific tax work: the customer wants real tax workflows completed and documented inside CCH ProSystem fx Tax, Wolters Kluwer's professional package used by many mid-size and large public accounting firms. Working from provided scenarios, you prepare and review U.S. federal and state returns, entering taxpayer details, income, deductions and credits.

The returns span individual and business scenarios, including corporations and partnerships. You review the calculations for missing, wrong or inconsistent information, run the software's diagnostics and resolve the common issues they raise, and check finished work for accuracy and compliance. Throughout, you explain the steps you took and write clear feedback to the project's guidelines.

The ad itself does not mention AI. The documented-workflow format matches micro1's AI data projects, but what the output is used for is not stated.

Who fits

micro1 lists these as preferred qualifications:

• Strong hands-on professional experience with CCH ProSystem fx Tax, enough to navigate it and finish common workflows independently
• A background in tax preparation, tax accounting, tax compliance or public accounting
• Experience preparing or reviewing U.S. federal and state returns
• Familiarity with individual and business returns, including corporations and partnerships
• A solid grasp of common U.S. tax forms, terminology and filing processes
• Close attention to detail, especially for tax and data-entry errors
• The ability to explain preparation steps and decisions clearly

No CPA or EA credential and no minimum years are stated.

What it pays

$90–170/hour, micro1's published figure and a wide band; the ad does not say what places someone at the top of it. It gives no compensation structure, weekly hours or project length. micro1 also posted an UltraTax CS Specialist listing the same day on the same band, for preparers who work in Thomson Reuters' software instead.

Worth knowing

Good:

• ProSystem fx fluency is a narrow, well-defined skill, so the bar is clear
• No CPA or EA requirement, which opens it to experienced preparers and reviewers
• Scenario-based returns, not live client files
• 20 openings, flagged new and high demand

Less good:

• The $90–170 band is wide and the ad does not explain where you land in it
• No hours, duration or pay structure published
• The end use of the documented workflows is not stated
• Contractor engagement: no benefits, no notice period, your own tax to manage
