Job Description

Your Purpose:

At Jackson Hewitt, we provide an invaluable service in guiding our clients through the tax codes, rules, and processes. We do this with integrity, quality, and consistency.

Together we are highly passionate about what we do, and how we can help our clients.

Doing taxes is much more than filling in some forms. For most Americans, their tax return is the biggest single financial event of the year, and it can be quite an emotional experience.

  • Someone without a college diploma? No problem!
  • A Veteran or military personnel transitioning from the service?

  • A recent college graduate or current college student?
  • A stay-at-home parent who needs a flexible work schedule?
  • A gig worker or looking to add a second income?
