Professional Experience That Can Help You Succeed in This Role

Can you believe that woolly mammoths were still alive when tax bills were first issued? Taxation has existed in various forms since civilization began. The earliest known tax records, dating back approximately 6,000 years B.C., were clay tablets found in the ancient city-state of Lagash, in modern-day Iraq. It's amazing-but true!

Leading a digital transformation in an industry with that level of maturity requires more than technical aptitude. It takes creativity, patience, and persistence. While not required, the following experiences would help you succeed in this role. It's okay if you don't meet every item, as long as you are willing to dive into challenges and learn quickly:
