Are You Looking at Changing Your Career Path?

Do you like working numbers and have an aptitude to solve problems?  Do you love working with people? It may be the right time to change course and embrace a new career path in the tax accounting industry.  It can be financially rewarding, too.  An accountant with 0-3 year's experience living in Alberta is making on average $70,538, according to the latest Robert Half Salary Guide. A senior tax accountant in Toronto is making over $100,000.

If these numbers line up with your future goals now is the right time to enrol in the DMA^TM Personal Tax Services Specialist Designation Program.  Please take a moment to review the 6 certificate courses in the program each of which will provide you with professional credentials to start your journey in this high demand service. 

1. Professional Income Tax Course - Entry Level
2. Professional Income Tax Course - Advanced Level
3. Investment Tax Strategies
4. Filing Proprietorship Returns
5. Filing Final Returns at Death
6. Filing T3 Trust Returns

You’ll earn your designation by completing all 6 courses at your own convenience and in your own home or office online.    Everything is included in the tax-deductible tuition fees, including access to personal instructor support by email.   You can take the courses one at a time, but you will save money by entering into the designation program directly.  You have three months to complete each 30 hour course. 

A highly skilled tax practitioner is a professional who understands CRA’s EFILE, NETFILE and File My Return, but brings so much more to the client relationship: the precise application of all the tax preferences the client is entitled to because a thorough client interview was conducted.

You’ll simulate these experiences with true-to-life case studies and work out the answers for your “mock client” using student versions of popular professional tax software programs such as Intuit’s ProFile Software Suite, DR Tax’s DT Max, and TaxCycle Suite.

Now you too can expand on the role of a traditional tax preparer and offer holistic tax filing and planning services to help families reduce taxes and supplement low income by taking advantage of all available tax credits.
