• Build tax projection models and quantify the impact of strategic moves

• Provide occasional support with tax return review when needed

Client satisfaction target: 90%+ based on proactive communication and actionable guidance.

2. Drive Measurable Client Tax Savings (By Month 6)

Lead the implementation of foundational and advanced strategies, resulting in an average 15-20% reduction in client tax liability compared to prior years.

Dedicate ~10% of your time to mentoring junior staff.

Lead at least two internal training sessions on specialized tax topics and help standardize best practices across the advisory team.
