Designed for accountants who are comfortable with the fundamentals of compliance work and are ready to step up to the next level - or as a practical refresher on the ‘need to knows.’

Tax & Business Services - Intermediate focuses on identifying issues and potential problems before the client jumps in and commits to something that might have a poor tax outcome.

Tax & Business Services - Intermediate covers the issues most practitioners previously had to learn by experience or by making mistakes.

Using a case study format, we help team members step up beyond the basics and manage the common but often tricky tax and business services compliance issues.

The case study structure of the day gives a ‘real life’ context to tax and business services and ensures that the logic of why particular things are completed in a particular way is not lost in theory.

It’s going to be an exhausting day but well worth the effort.

A full workbook - to use as a reference guide for back in the office - is included.
