Aardvark Tax Advisors is a full-service tax, accounting, and advisory firm serving small businesses and entrepreneurs. We're the accounting and client services practice of Cynch AI. We're growing fast. As the accounting profession faces a growing succession challenge, we're partnering with retiring practitioners and thoughtfully bringing their clients into Aardvark, preserving the trusted relationships and personal service those clients value. We use proprietary AI to amplify professional expertise while always deferring to human judgment. By shifting routine work to AI, Cynch's platform gives our accounting and tax teams more time for complex problem-solving, proactive planning, and building client relationships that last. We're looking for a Document Specialist to review, organize, and confirm the accuracy of every client document that moves through the practice. That means meticulously reviewing documents to confirm they are accurate, properly formatted, and accessible to Client Success team members and Tax Preparers, and treating document accuracy as the foundation the whole engagement process stands on. We have an open position in both our Soquel and Cupertino offices. To ensure your application reaches the hiring team, please apply online only.
