Outsource tax advisors to the Philippines

What key skills and qualifications make a great tax advisor?

Previous experience as an accountant, planner, financial advisor or tax analyst will ensure that organisations are receiving expert and accurate advice. Organisational tax compliance can make or break companies, so hiring advisors with previous experience in the industry is crucial. Tax requires high analytical and critical thinking skills to ensure that balance between low tax payables and compliance. 

Outsourcing providers recruit tax advisors the same way an internal, talent acquisition team would. Essentially, they ask the same questions to understand whether these offshore candidates would be able to provide the level of quality required by Australian organisations:

• What experience and knowledge do you have as a tax advisor or in a similar role such as an accountant, lawyer or financial advisor? 
• What are your analysis and interpretation skills like?
• How do you ensure that you keep up-to-date with relevant changes to tax legislation and compliance standards?
• Do you possess any professional accounting qualifications such as a CA or CPA?
• How do you ensure excellent communication between senior management and tax auditor bodies?
• Provide an example of how you showcased a high level of accuracy and attention to detail.
• What accounting packages are you familiar with?

In terms of qualifications, a higher education degree or certificate in accounting, finance, economics or business is essential. Tax advisors require excellent numerical and interpretation skills to incorporate tax law into business functions properly. Previous customer service experience within a financial institution is preferred due to the transferable knowledge accumulated in these roles. Outsourcing companies can help you find the right candidate to meet your organisation’s tax requirements:

• Whether you are looking to train junior tax advisors from the ground up and teach them your business's way of doing things, or 
• Whether you are seeking expertise and a team of tax advisors with certifications and higher education.
