Job Description

Intuit is a leading financial software company dedicated to empowering individuals and businesses to manage their finances with confidence and ease. Known for its innovation and commitment to customer success, Intuit offers a wide range of products, including TurboTax, QuickBooks, and Mint, which serve millions of users globally. The company’s mission of "Powering Prosperity Around the World" reflects its dedication to helping customers achieve financial well-being through technology and expert support. Intuit fosters a culture of inclusivity, collaboration, and growth, making it a compelling employer for professionals passionate about making a difference in the financial lives of others.

This job opening is for the position of TurboTax Retail Expert, a unique role that blends tax expertise, community engagement, and entrepreneurial spirit. As a TurboTax Retail Expert, you will work onsite at one of Intuit’s TurboTax Retail or Flagship locations across the United States. Your primary responsibilities will include serving customers through direct interaction, providing expert tax advice, preparing tax returns, and facilitating an exceptional customer experience. This role not only requires a deep understanding of tax laws and regulations but also the ability to connect with customers on a personal level to alleviate their tax-related stress.

Beyond individual customer service, this position involves actively growing the TurboTax client base within your local community. You will play a vital role as a proactive community ambassador, engaging with prospects through outreach and local marketing efforts supported by TurboTax resources. Your efforts will help establish lasting client relationships and foster customer loyalty over multiple years. Working in this role means embracing a dynamic, retail-facing environment where your expertise directly supports Intuit's broader mission.

The TurboTax Retail Expert position is non-exempt and requires onsite presence during operational hours, which can vary and increase during peak tax season. You will be part of a collaborative team of financial professionals dedicated to delivering comprehensive tax preparation and planning services, including handling complex tax situations such as personal and business income, deductions optimization, and tax amendments. The job also includes leveraging up-to-date resources, government tools, and team collaboration to provide accurate and understandable tax solutions. Intuit provides industry-leading support and tools, including professional marketing assistance, to help you build a successful, client-focused business within your community.

This role demands more than technical skills; it requires excellent communication abilities, a customer-focused attitude, and a passion for teaching and empowering clients. In addition to daily customer interactions, you will engage with clients through advanced virtual communication tools to ensure seamless access to TurboTax services. This comprehensive role offers a rewarding career path with competitive compensation, including base pay, cash bonuses, equity rewards, and valuable benefits. Intuit’s package features a 401(k) savings plan with company matching, employee stock purchase options, insurance coverage, and paid sick time, supporting your overall well-being and financial growth.

The position is ideal for individuals with active EA, CPA, or attorney licenses who possess substantial professional tax preparation experience. Candidates must have a Preparer Tax Identification Number and any necessary state-level certifications or permits. The ability to work flexible hours onsite, including weekends, and willingness to wear a TurboTax uniform in a retail environment are essential. Bilingual English/Spanish communication skills and a strong local community presence are additional pluses.

Joining Intuit as a TurboTax Retail Expert means becoming part of a forward-thinking company where you can leverage your financial expertise to make meaningful contributions to customers and your community, all while advancing your professional career in a supportive and innovative environment.
