As a Seasonal Tax Prep Associate for Intuit, I work remotely from my home in Kansas helping customers all over the country. Spoiler alert: I love it! I\u2019m Fatimah. If you want to transition from a bookkeeping position to a tax career like I did, keep scrolling and I\u2019ll share the 4 ways Intuit makes it easy for you to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How did my career journey bring me to this great company? It started back in my restaurant days. I was a server, but I climbed my way up to assistant manager, a position that gave me bookkeeping responsibility. Math was always my favorite subject in school, and I realized I enjoyed working with numbers in a professional capacity. Eventually I had an opportunity to take on tax issues for a small company. Not long after that, a friend who works at Intuit told me I\u2019d love the culture here. Read on to learn how Intuit makes it easy for you to launch your new career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Join the fast track for tax prep training  <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

No waiting lists, no driving to class\u2014you can complete your Intuit tax training as quickly as you want. That\u2019s what I love about Intuit Academy<\/a>, which offers training programs for tax preparation and bookkeeping. I got thorough training to help me get a handle on the tax side\u2014and I got paid while doing it. The training is online and self-paced, so I could work it around my schedule. Need to take your kiddos to the doctor in the morning? Having lunch with your best friends? Go do it! Intuit Academy\u2019s flexibility lets you do the coursework when it\u2019s convenient for you.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only did I learn how to prepare tax returns and maximize credits and deductions, but Intuit Academy courses taught me how to use TurboTax and what to expect on customer calls. Sure, I was nervous at first, but my managers and teammates had my back. If I couldn\u2019t solve an issue on my own, I could jump on our messaging channel and easily find someone with the right answer. That\u2019s another thing that\u2019s so great about Intuit: Everyone has their own area of expertise they bring to the table, and we\u2019re all happy to share with each other!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t need any tax experience to enroll in the Intuit Academy program. Now, did my experience as a bookkeeper make it easier to learn the tax side? Definitely. If you\u2019re coming in with bookkeeping knowledge like I did, you\u2019ll help set yourself up for success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to gaining valuable skills, when you take our online tax preparation exam and get a passing score, you\u2019ll earn an Intuit Academy badge, which helps make you a more competitive job applicant. Even if you choose to take a job offer with another company, you can be confident that your Intuit training has you fully prepared for your new career journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BTW: The Intuit Academy is free. I think of all the money I would spend elsewhere on course material to help me make the jump from bookkeeping to tax. How great is it that the company I work for helped me advance my career and<\/em> they paid for it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Inside Intuit\u2019s strong work culture, you\u2019ll thrive (and have fun!)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve never worked remotely, you may wonder if you\u2019ll feel isolated. Trust me when I tell you I had that concern too\u2014but you have nothing to worry about. Intuit makes sure we have the tools and time to get to know our teammates. We have weekly and daily online meetups and huddles, and our manager sets up \u201ccoffee times\u201d with her so we can chat about anything. Our group even started a friendly competition to see who can find an answer in the Intuit database to the most difficult question of the week. Bottom line? I don\u2019t feel alone and neither will you! We\u2019re like family here, and together we help each other make every day awesome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. The flexibility to live your best life<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I chose to be a seasonal employee at Intuit, and I\u2019m still eligible for a 401(k) plan and an opportunity to purchase Intuit stock at a discount. Love that! The flexibility also gives me the time to devote to my personal passion: leading classes for home-schoolers so they can hang out with other kiddos their own age. I\u2019m a home-school mom myself, so I know how important it is for them to engage with other children.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Learn new skills & create a new future<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Now I\u2019m driving my career forward, and I know you can do it, too. Learn new skills across multiple disciplines or create your own personalized career path in tax and accounting. Want to earn your enrolled agent credential and become a tax expert? You can do that at Intuit, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re ready to elevate your career and move into a tax or accounting position, Intuit has opportunities for you. You can tackle a wide range of challenging issues while getting the benefits and flexibility you deserve.
