Tax Director Resume
The penalty that IRS (Internal Revenue Service) imposes on companies not complying with the tax regulations is very severe. Besides, the reputation of such establishments also takes a back seat, which forces the stakeholders to withdraw their support. Once black-listed, the companies have to struggle for years to gain back its reputation and win confidence of stakeholders. To let not such situation arise in the first place, organizations hire tax directors. These directors are finance professionals with massive knowledge of tax regulations and fiscal rules of the state, federal and local area. To try for this position, you have to obtain a four-year college degree in any one of these areas - accounting, finance, and tax and work from entry-level position. Doing additional certification courses such as certified public accountant (CPA), and certified financial manager (CFM) will also help in reaching to the tax director position.
