About Lazo
Lazo is building a tech-enabled back office for startups operating across the U.S., combining software + human expertise.
At Lazo, we're growing fast and looking for a key addition to our Tax team: someone who can help us bring structure, unblock processes, and ensure everything is ready before tax preparation begins.
This role is ideal for someone highly organized, proactive, and with at least 1 year of experience in US tax — whether in a firm, accounting team, or similar environment. You don't need to be a tax technician, but you do need to understand the landscape well enough to coordinate confidently.
🧠 What will you be doing?
Your main goal will be to ensure clients are "ready to prep" — meaning all information is complete, organized, and ready for the technical team to work efficiently. You'll act as a key link between clients, the bookkeeping team, and the tax team.
⚙️ Key responsibilities
Request, follow up, and unblock information from clients and internal teams
Manage tasks and documentation across our platforms
Validate that the information received is complete and consistent (non-technical review)
Maintain direct communication with clients (platform + email)
Coordinate compliance-related processes with clients:
Collect information for FBAR
Manage 1099 workflows
Prepare documentation such as W-9 or W-8, depending on the case
Ensure everything is ready for the Tax team to move forward
Keep client information up to date across systems
🎯 We're looking for someone who:
Has at least 1 year of experience in US tax (firm, in-house team, or accounting services — not purely administrative roles)
Is highly organized and detail-oriented
Has strong follow-up and execution skills
Communicates clearly and confidently with clients
Is proactive and takes ownership
Enjoys bringing structure to processes and managing multiple tasks at once
👉 This is not a technical tax role, but you'll gain strong exposure to the tax and accounting world — and your prior experience in the field will help you hit the ground running.
