Good morning All,
Happy Tax Season!
I was going to title this, 1st hire. But that wouldn't be accurate. I did find and interview an administrative candidate at my old firm many years ago. But back then I was merely a junior accountant. This is, however, my first hire as the interim Tax Partner at a firm. New hire is fresh out of university. She did some tax work while interning in school, but this will be her first gig out of school and in his chosen career path. I look back at my first few days at the firm and think about what I liked, didn't like, and I am trying to adjust from there. Throughout my entire career, I've experienced the sink or swim model of work, that is the "Here is the work, figure out how to get it done, either research, look at prior year workpapers, etc." How can I do things differently? How have you trained new hires? What, if any, good literature/research sources are there? As always, any advice is appreciated immensely.
