One of the main reasons I decided to work in tax was because I wanted the intellectual challenge – I knew I wanted that to be an element of my work as I’d enjoyed that element of university. And so enrolled onto my first ATT exam as soon as I could, to start the journey to becoming CTA qualified.
I thought with technical knowledge and skill alone, I was going to be this all great tax advisor. But that’s only part of what makes a great tax advisor – there are many other skills that are needed too.
I didn’t fully appreciate this until a few years into my tax career, but it would have been useful for me to have known earlier.
So, in this episode, I share with you 5 skills that, in my opinion. you should master early on in your tax career to give you the solid foundations to build upon in the future.
Listen to hear what they are!
