Over the years that I’ve provided tax compliance, consulting, and controversy services to numerous clients in all types of industries, I have found that the following describe some of the key attributes that a client is looking for in their tax advisor (not necessarily in order of importance): (1) possesses a high-level of technical competence and creativity; (2) has the ability to explain complex tax rules in layman’s terms; (3) demonstrates a fully developed client-service orientation and empathy for the client’s business and personal circumstances; (4) is accessible and responsive; and (5) recognizes that “the tax tail should never wag the business dog” (in other words - the tax results, while important, are nevertheless secondary to the business goals and objectives). Not only should a tax professionals business philosophy epitomize these characteristics - they should be part of his nature.
