Pros
Working Remote and learning more about tax
Cons
My Experience as a Tax Preparer at Cleer Tax
Working at Cleer Tax was a revealing experience that highlighted the importance of competent management and meaningful support in a remote work environment. Despite being hired for my expertise, I often found myself navigating unclear expectations and a lack of understanding from leadership—particularly around the logistics of productivity and the realities of working with international remote staff.
There was a consistent failure to engage in clarifying dialogue. Instead of seeking understanding, management often made assumptions and moved forward without resolving key issues. This created confusion, especially when dealing with clients who submitted incorrect Annual Financial Statements (AFS). Rather than supporting a collaborative approach to guide clients, the assistance felt one-sided and undervalued.
What was most disappointing was witnessing a colleague with no tax background receive more structured support and education, while experienced professionals were left to fend for themselves. It’s one thing to leave a job for better pay, but it’s another to be discarded without regard for your contributions.
I share this not out of bitterness, but to offer insight to others considering employment here. If you value clear communication, professional respect, and a supportive environment, I encourage you to ask the hard questions before committing.
