I’m in industry and I agree with working hours and busy season with audit, month-end and year-end. I accidentally landed in a job that gave me a taste of management/financial accounting and tax but it’s now 100% tax and I freaking love it! It does get stressful with multiple monthly deadlines but they are short lived.

The beauty of Preparing taxes is that if you agree to the client's net income/loss on the business tax return, you know you are on the right track!

Your videos are so inspiring! I plan on becoming a Tax Associate and was nervous about the exit options (in comparison to audit). Do you plan on becoming a controller? Also may you please do a video about conventional and unconventional tax accountant exit options? I’ve been doing research online but hearing it from a verifiable professional is as good as it gets. Keep doing what you’re doing!!!

Also a tax manager at a Big 4 here🙌🏻 i would say that I agree with points 1 & 2. Point 3 to me isn’t much different for audit & tax since I do corporate tax for a lot of my firm’s audit clients as well. Point 4 to me is yes and no since the audit team a lot of times subcontracts tax provision review to the tax team and in that case we look at materiality as well. For point 5, I just think both audit and tax aren’t likely to be replaced by AI, at least, in the near future 😅 Overall, I think I’ve been able to survive in Big 4 for 7 years coz I work in tax and the working hours are shorter than audit. But then, please note beforehand that when you are in tax, your exit opportunities will be limited. Only the big MNCs have dedicated tax manager roles so you can imagine that there won’t be a lot of job openings in the market. I’ve known WAY TOO MANY people working in Big 4 tax only because they still haven’t got the opportunity to go commercial yet.

Hi, your channel is very good, congratulations. I intend to study an undergraduate degree in International Taxation in Germany (I am already accepted), the only doubt I have is regarding my age, since I am 37 years old, then I would like to know if that could play against me when I start working, since I would finish at 40. I would like to work in one of the Big Four, but I don't know if I have chances because of my age. I would appreciate any comments. Greetings!!!

Hey Gabrielle! I just found your channel and I am so grateful for all the info ☺️ I am currently studying both law and accounting (specializing in tax and audit) and I’m leaning towards working in tax. Since you work in tax consulting, do you interact with a lot of tax law? I’ve been told that there’s a difference between what tax lawyers and tax consultants do, would that be accurate? Is it possible to get a job in tax that would make use of both my legal and accounting knowledge? Thank you for sharing your experience!

I’m applying for a transfer pricing graduate program and Idk how I feel about that. I worry that maybe it isn’t a good idea to start off doing something specific you know? That maybe doing general corporate taxation would be better for me. What do you think? Do you believe that starting off at transfer pricing is a good kick start for a career in tax accounting??
@GabrielleTalksMoney3 жыл бұрын
I would say transfer pricing is specific but has lots of global mobility. General corporate tax is also good if you aren't clear what area of tax you want to pursue. I think it ultimately comes down to doing your research and where you see yourself in the future!
