I\u2019m proud to be a tax expert and an enrolled agent, but there\u2019s one thing I\u2019ll always put before work: my family. At Intuit, I have the flexibility to work the hours I want while progressing in my career\u00ad\u2014but without sacrificing the time I need to devote to my loved ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sitting with my mom at the kitchen table. She\u2019d be working on her taxes with pencil and paper, and she\u2019d ask me to find a number and I\u2019d go through the papers to find it. Fast forward to college where I decided to be an accounting major. As I approached graduation, I thought I\u2019d go work for one of the Big Four accounting firms, but I\u2019m thrilled my career brought me to Intuit instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flexibility: Everyone has the time they need to manage their work while tending to their families. It\u2019s OK for me to go to my son\u2019s holiday program at school. It\u2019s OK to tell my boss I\u2019m sick and I might choose to be online only a few hours that day. As long as I get in the hours I have scheduled, I have the autonomy I want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Support: When I decided to get my enrolled agent credential, the Intuit Enrolled Agent Credential Assistance Program paid for everything\u00ad\u2014the books, the software I used to study, and the exam fees. All I needed to bring was my will to succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Growth: We have so many opportunities to advance our careers. My manager encouraged me to apply to be a team lead, and I\u2019m so happy I got the position. I love that I have a group of fellow leads who bring their own skills and knowledge to the table that I continue to learn from. Our team leads are enrolled agents, lawyers, CPAs, and more. It\u2019s an amazing group of people, and they make it easy to get answers for my direct reports that I may not know off the top of my head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is a perception that the Big Four is the fastest way to succeed in this space. These careers come with more formality, less flexibility, and more demanding paths to advancement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here, it’s not like that. Nobody’s going to pass you up unless you want them to pass you up. It’s your own life and you drive your own train. If you want to stay in your current position as a bookkeeper or tax associate, you can. If you want to keep advancing, there are endless possibilities. There\u2019s less stress at Intuit, but we still get to challenge ourselves with complex, fulfilling issues by creating financial opportunities for people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s really nice that I can enjoy my personal happiness while being professionally successful and making good money. Some people think that those can’t be together; that you’re either making good money and you’re miserable, or you’re putting your personal life above your career. At Intuit, you can have the best of both worlds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You are tax ready. You can start in bookkeeping and then apply for a tax associate position. It\u2019s just about stretching your horizons a bit and trying something new. If you don\u2019t like tax, you can return to bookkeeping. Intuit works with you to help you find the place you feel most comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Being remote has its advantages. I have colleagues that live near each other in Florida. I told them, \u201cI am definitely going to visit all of you. I want to see you in person and hang out.\u201d So we now have a group of us that plan on making a summer beach trip together. I love that I\u2019ve made friends at Intuit who feel like family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
