Newly Qualified CTA Tax Jobs: Gain Valuable Career Advice
Congratulations
As a qualified tax professional you’re skill set is now in demand in the marketplace.
You have passed some very difficult exams and are now CTA qualified; now is the time to be bold and go for the career you really want. This could be with your current employer or with a brand new organisation. Your boss is aware of your worth and is probably keen to hold on to you (if they have any sense). Now is the time to talk to your employer and make sure you let them know what your career aspirations are.
‘Take any 100 people at the start of their professional careers and follow them for 40 years until they reach retirement age, and here’s what you will find, according to research undertaken: only 1 will be wealthy; 4 will be financially secure; 5 will continue working, not because they want to but because they have to; 36 will be dead; and 54 will be financially broke - dependent on laughable pension contributions, relatives, friends even charity to achieve a minimum standard of living. That’s 5% successful, 95% unsuccessful.’
Making the right move or at the very least checking your option is the right thing to do for your career. Taking the time to look at what the market can offer you is not only prudent, but can make the difference between being in that 5% bracket and worrying about your finances well into old age.

What Are Your Options?
Stay In Practice?
The options for advancement in practice are many and the firms looking for qualified people include the Big 4, Top 50 and numerous independent firms. The only thing holding you back is your own ambition. Firms are keen to recruit CTA qualified candidates and can offer you the option to greater specialisation, a move to a different tax area, and more consultancy-based roles
In-House?
You may decide to move out of practice and see what it would be like working in an in-house environment. Many qualified professionals do so to gain a fuller understating of a business. Some stay and make a career out of industry; others prefer to take the valuable experience they have gained back into a business environment.
Try Something Different?
You may feel you are not suited to a larger environment or perhaps want a greater level of responsibility or work for a more varied client base. Why not work for a niche tax consultancy or make a move into a law firm or even try working in another tax jurisdiction. As a tax qualified consultant your options are global.
