The quotes below are about this issue:
In public accounting, more clients are doing business internationally, requiring knowledge of international tax laws.
| "Employer 1: When I started thirteen years ago, some of the struggles I had with the complexities in the changing world were that we had clients that were going to Wisconsin and the Dakotas and we had to learn the tax law in those states. In the last three or four years, everything's international. Fifty percent of our clients are international—buying, selling, little ones, big ones. And you don't have to be big to be selling internationally. We've had clients speak to us internally and they talk about how they feel it's easier to do business internationally than it is domestically. That's just one experience. But I think the international element is going to be big over the next fifteen years. Interviewer: Great point. Understanding how business is conducted and how they do accounting in India versus Taiwan versus Mexico, I suppose. Employer 2: Are you looking for more of a cultural, linguistic...? Employer 1: I think for us it's more technical. It's tax law and accounting rules. But also as the advisor—as most of us are—your clients are going to have more general questions about, 'How do I do this?' or 'How do I get started?' or 'Who could my allies could be?' You just have to have a level of confidence." |
