Dear Manager and Senior Manager Tax Professionals: For mid-career tax professionals, the transition from the Big 4 to an in-house corporate tax department can mark a significant turning point. By this stage, professionals working for large firms have developed a strong technical foundation and are likely seeking new challenges and opportunities for growth, making the transition to an in-house role particularly appealing. At this point, it’s also critical that tax professionals evaluate their long-term objectives and determine their preferred career trajectory. Here are the Pros for considering in-house roles: 1. Gain deeper insights into the implementation and execution of tax strategies instead of merely advising clients. 2. Take on a more integrated role with the company. 3. Seize the opportunity to see how tax closely interacts with various corporate functions, including treasury, financial planning and analysis, legal, and the controller’s office--aside note, it's low risk, as you can always go back to professional services and be seen and recognized as a valuable asset. 4. Compensation packages typically come with a combination of a competitive salary, consistent bonus, and equity in annual stock grants. 5. An improved work-life balance--say good bye to the client deadlines and billable hours--enjoy your time at work and with your family. Interested in the cons?

Knowing your team’s capabilities is required but may not be enough. An organization can move mountains when teammates support each other. Take a 150-person professional services company, in this case an accounting firm. It’s small enough to be nimble but large enough that not everyone knows each other and what other people are capable of. How would a tax manager new to the company and working on a technical tax issue know that a colleague in another office can answer the question in a five-minute phone call instead of spending six hours researching the issue? Having connectors within the firm that know everyone’s capabilities and internally published skills matrix should get the job done. The tax manager is supported, and the firm should realize higher profitability (especially if the engagement is fixed fee). The alternative is frustration and low productivity.
