Who Is Hiring Tax Professionals? Behind The Scene Knowledge

Tax Jobs And Hiring Tax Professionals: What You Need To Know Now!

While talking to numerous hiring professionals this week, I want to share happy hiring stories with you. Although the public accounting firms are known to trim staffs after tax season, many are looking at what they can do to keep their tax professionals in place. They will look at who they can retire early first and then they are trimming salaries across the board. However, the tax professionals may have a different experience on salaries since there are not enough of them available to meet the demand. You can be guaranteed the demand will rise as a result of all the stimulus legislation and economic impact payments coming out of Washington D.C. Additionally, governments around the world are now making changes to their tax laws. Tax professionals are in for a very strong future in the profession. Tax experts with the experience of the Tax Reform Act under President Reagan in 1986 and the Tax Cuts And Jobs under President Trump in 2017 know what is coming. The future is big business in the tax profession.

My executive search clients are calling to share behind the scenes stories occurring right now for tax professionals. A client I have in San Francisco, CA has four openings we have been retained to fill. There was a fifth but this Tax Manager starts from Monday at home. When the stay at home initiative is lifted they will work from the office. Here is what the client did during the pandemic. First, they assured all employees their jobs were safe; they shipped all employees a company computer to their home; they sent all employees a check for $500 to cover any internet connection upgrade costs required from their homes; they then gave them an extra $100 for their favorite charity. They consistently do so much more for their employees. If anyone has 2-10 years of experience with family offices, partnerships or investment groups contact me now as I will let you know if you have the tax qualifications to join this extraordinary corporate team.

The Perception And Reality Of Finding A Tax Job Today

Find Tax Jobs - Kat Jennings

With three decades experience in executive tax search, it is important to teach you what happens behind the scenes as tax professionals reach out to find full-time, part-time, remote and gig tax jobs. The truth is the current system of finding a tax job in the tax profession is filled with multiple obstacles that impede success. This article is intended to enlighten you about the perception and the reality of finding a tax job today.

You will learn from the perspective of tax professionals searching for a tax job; and you will learn from the perspective of companies searching for tax professionals. You likely have heard the phrase “perception is reality” but the actual truth is that perception and reality are very different.

The Oxford Dictionary states “Perception is the way in which something is regarded, understood or interpreted” while “Reality is the state of things as they actually exist, as opposed to the idealistic or notional idea of them. Reality is the way actual events actually unfold in the real world.” There is the perception and there is the reality involved in finding a tax job and knowing the difference will give you a significant competitive advantage.

Finding A Tax Job Is An Art – Learn How To Present Yourself

Kat- Find A Tax Job 2

One of the most important documents you create in your career is your professional resume and your online resume.

It is the first impression of who you are as a tax professional. With three decades experience reviewing more than one million resumes, I understand what it takes to get a tax professional an interview with a company; and why doors are literally shut on tax professionals being considered for a tax job within 15 seconds.

Early on in my executive search career, I ran into a myriad of obstacles connecting tax professionals with the corporate decision-makers who ultimately hire them. There are actually many obstacles that will be discussed; however, the biggest is often your resume presentation. This is when 99% of tax professionals get screened out of the interview process. A majority of tax professionals simply fail to gain an interview with the written resume they presented.

This was a scenario I saw over and over again; tax professionals eliminated within 15 seconds because the person reviewing their resume did not understand it or it did not contain the information the company was searching for in a person. In my opinion, a resume screens you in or out in 15 seconds and then if they like what they see they will spend maybe three minutes more before they make a decision to see you.
