Why Magnetic

Magnetic is building AI-powered tax prep for professionals. Our product scans, classifies, and populates client tax documents directly into professional tax software. That means CPAs and EAs can handle more returns, more accurately, and with far less manual work.

We’re a small, fast-moving team backed by Y Combinator (S25). Early firms are already using our system in production and replacing hours of grunt work every day. Now we’re looking for a founding tax expert to help us scale.

This is a rare opportunity to use your tax experience to help build real automation at a cutting-edge startup.

What You’ll Do

You’ll be the first tax expert on the team. Your job is to make sure we’re preparing high-quality returns, managing a growing review team, and turning your knowledge into process and product. Over time, you’ll help build the tools that automate your own work.

Responsibilities

  1. Prepare and review complex 1040 returns, including high-income, multi-state, and investment-heavy clients
  2. Manage and train a team of preparers and reviewers
  3. Build internal processes that improve accuracy, speed, and scale
  4. Work directly with engineers to translate tax workflows into automation logic

Who We’re Looking For

  • You’re a licensed CPA or EA
  • You’ve prepared and reviewed 1040s for at least five years
  • You know one of the major tax software platforms (UltraTax, Drake, Lacerte, ProSeries) inside and out
  • You’re comfortable with complex returns, including K-1s, state credits, and brokerage statements
  • You’ve managed or trained junior staff before
  • You care about accuracy but also know how to move fast
  • You’re excited about technology and want to help build the future of tax

Why Join

  • Competitive salary and meaningful equity
  • Ground-floor role on a venture-backed team
  • Direct impact on product and process
  • Flexible work setup (remote ok)
  • Opportunity to shape how modern tax prep works
