Four tips on how to advance your career in tax
Are you looking to advance your career as a tax professional but don't know where to start? If you know the options that are available, you will be well placed to take control of your career, instead of waiting for things to fall in place. We identified four strategies successful tax professionals use to advance their careers.
1. Learn, learn, learn
Being curious and open to learning is the best way to remain agile and future-fit. It is much easier to do that if you are surrounded by a knowledgeable community of like-minded individuals with access to valuable resources and experts. Joining a professional community will provide you with opportunities to achieve your full potential and signal professional credibility to prospective clients and employers.
2. Upskill with on-demand webinars
Webinars are a great way to advance your knowledge and access information anytime and anywhere. The Tax Faculty publishes complimentary resources and has a library of on-demand webinars on a wide range of tax topics that will support you to upskill your knowledge. Many of these webinars offered are free, while The Tax Faculty also offers premium content through subscription plans for those who want access to advanced topics or discussions by leaders in tax.
3. Stay informed with industry developments
The tax world is fast-paced, especially in South Africa where limited resources need to be harvested innovatively to promote economic growth and address systematic inequality. At the same time, South Africa faces similar tax collection challenges as other countries around the world. Get regular updates on statutory changes and policy initiatives that affect the services you deliver on The Tax Faculty’s blog and resource centre or follow their social media channels (YouTube, LinkedIn and Facebook) for regular updates.
4. Upskill by embracing lifelong learning
Online training courses are a convenient way to upskill and secure valuable credentials to get the recognition you deserve and to remain future-fit. The Tax Faculty is a trusted provider of online accredited tax courses, including short courses, professional certificate programmes, and occupational qualifications.
Tax practitioners in South Africa face enormous challenges related to tax compliance, ever-changing SARS regulations, CPD requirements, and complex SARS dispute resolution processes. It’s hard to navigate these challenges without continuously equipping yourself with the necessary skills and building on your industry and general commercial awareness. The Tax Faculty supports professionals like you to gain the skills necessary to advise clients and make a positive contribution to our industry. Enroll with us today.
