Right now I'm taking the final two tax classes for my Master's emphasis (Individual Tax and Partnership Taxation) as well as my final General University Education class (Humanities) and my last General Business Education class (Business Law). ... ok I'm realizing after listing that last class that I need to qualify my statement above. I love preparing taxes without reservation. I love classes at school with reservations... Business Law has kinda been the bain of my existence in the Marriott School of Business. I'm counting down the days for that one to be over. My other classes, however, especially Individual Tax, I am truly enjoying.
VITA is truly a highlight of my experience in school. It has influenced my chosen career path! I have been a volunteer in the lab for the past four years- all throughout my accounting education- and have managed the lab for the past two years. Through it I've come to love preparing taxes for individuals. Preparing someone's taxes is such a personal experience- so many aspects of their life are reflected in an individual's taxes. I appreciate the trust both friends and strangers place in me to prepare their taxes. I love helping people do something that they otherwise wouldn't be able to do for themselves.
Your friends appreciate the patience you show and the 100% commitment you give when you offer to do their taxes AS A SERVICE! I was telling a friend about how lucky we were to have you help us with our taxes and she kept saying, "You can do that on-line... oh well if you use this program..." Well the next day she text me saying, "Hey do you think your friend with BIDA could help us with our taxes?" :) (I told her VITA was a service for BYU students and that it was really tricky to do it long-distance.) Anyway, I am so grateful that you could help us again this year. You're going to be a great professional accountant!
ReplyDeleteI think your comments well express the trust we have placed in our personal accountant. She too looks as it as a special calling of trust. Good for you -- that attitude will serve you well in your future. Dad
