Training tax staff is one of those things we all know we should do, but don’t necessarily know about the right way to go about this or dedicate as much time as we should.
It’s tough – and as one of my colleagues says, we are not teachers. We are tax professionals.
I’m a big believer that we should provide the support our staff – tax trainees or otherwise – deserve and need in order to flourish.
So, in this episode, I share advice to help you do exactly that, including the benefit of training your staff and ways you can train and support them.
