- Who needs Tax Accountants? The
economy has its ups and downs, but, as some say, the only things
certain in life are "death and taxes." Every legal, taxable,
entity pays taxes--individuals, corporations, partnerships, estates
and trusts. The typical taxation partner in the large public
accounting firm earns hundreds of thousands a dollars per year, or
even more. Tax accountants are needed almost everywhere, in small
public accounting firms, large accounting firms, law firms, corporate
tax departments, the IRS, state departments of revenue, investment
firms, banks, and in private practice. The need for tax accountants
has never been greater.
