“Make sure you are interested and that you are really passionate about the area of tax that you're focused on,” he advises.
“And make connections. Because ultimately, if you are dealing with like-minded people, they all have different perspectives and we all benefit from getting multiple perspectives from other professionals.”

“It's been great and having something like The Tax Institute has been wonderful to be part of.”
