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?

You should consider midsize tax firms (not just in-house firms) if you're a US corporate tax professional seeking a change. Here are a few reasons! ⚖️ Work-life balance = My clients at mid-tier firms value your time and let you manage client work based on capacity. They're generally not PE-backed and value work-life balance. Many come from the Big 4 for this reason. 🌱 Variety in work = Unlike in-house roles, you'll see a much broader scope of work at a mid-tier firm. You'll handle everything from PE and VC fund reporting to corporate clients with international filings. Advisory work as well as compliance. 🗣️ Influence and autonomy = No large firm politics but rather 'we take the client work seriously, not ourselves'. You'll also get a huge say in the work you do and how you manage your clients. 🚀 Growth & progression opportunities = One of our London-based clients saw 40% growth last year, with clients doing the selling for them. The only thing slowing down growth is the need for more talent and they won't accept more work until they get them. 💡 Big clients but small firm flexibility = You'll work with clients that are as large as those at the Big 4, but without the corporate bureaucracy and sheer amount of compliance hoops. Most of the work is focused on PE and VC funds, with more and more advisory work coming in (one firm has a dedicated team being formed as we speak). Working for an in-house firm has its advantages, of course, and this isn't about favouring one over the other. I'm simply saying that considering a smaller US corporate tax team when job hunting can be a great thing to do. I've helped many people with this transition, and I believe you'd be surprised by the differences.

Is it taboo not to have ambitions of becoming a Tax Partner? A large portion of the candidates I speak with answer the “What are your long-term goals?” question with "Become a Tax Partner." No surprise there. But if you're ambitious, you might be surprised to learn that not everyone shares that goal. Some people have no interest in becoming a Partner. Many professionals prefer to stay within tax, focusing on compliance and working with great clients—because that's what they truly enjoy. And guess what? Partners appreciate this too. There aren’t endless Partnership positions available, and firms need strong team members who can consistently deliver for their clients. So, if you’ve ever thought that not aiming for Partnership is a problem, don’t. People who focus on their strengths and passions are some of the most valuable members of any tax team.
