Hi everyone! I’m an S1 in tax at a Big 4 in NY (only been here for a few months). I was recently offered a chance to join a long term engagement (at least one year) for a massive new client. I’ll only be focusing on the tax provision aspect for them. They’re building out a team just for this client from scratch. Do you think this is a good project to be on? Any negatives or drawbacks? Thank you all! I’d appreciate any advice!

Sounds like it’s a big client. This could get you some good exposure to leaders in the firm.

Thank you! I care more about learning and leveraging it for a better exit op as opposed to face time with leaders.

It should be a good learning experience but you might get exposure to more if you’re on multiple clients instead. It really all depends on what’s happening at that company and how the team will be ran - will you only get to see one piece or the big picture?

Thank you for responding! I was thinking the same. Client is a big name in tech but they only want non-compliance tax services from us. I’ll only be focusing on the tax provision aspect of it. So it’s more like one piece.

No

Thank you!

"Good learning experience". But in all honestly provision experience is an extremely valuable skillset in industry. Downside, provision deadlines sometimes ruin your life.

Provision can’t be worse than tax seasons, can’t it?
