Great company to start your tax career - Tax Associate Altum LLP Employee Review

I would not normally complete a review but i can't seem to get past the screen without doing so. I am biased but we are a great firm. :) We have the best employees (smart and hard working) and awesome clients (smart and appreciative).

Not always great at work/life balance and training but we are working on it,

It's an excellent environment for rapidly mastering individual tax intricacies, particularly concerning high net worth individuals. Additionally, as you progress, increased responsibilities translate to higher compensation, encompassing overtime pay and an annual salary bump

It's quite demanding. There was a week where I clocked in around 80 hours, which really takes a toll on your social life. Be prepared to dedicate weekends to work, although the off-season tends to be more relaxed, and occasionally you might find yourself with bored because there's no work. Also, the owner can be difficult to deal with since is approach, most of the time, is to point the mistakes because there's no time to go over the positive side. The good thing is that he's aware of it and he's open to communication so it helps to deal with any concern. Moreover, interacting with the owner can pose challenges due to their tendency to focus predominantly on pointing out mistakes, often neglecting to highlight positives. However, it's worth noting that the owner acknowledges this approach and remains open to communication, which ultimately facilitates addressing any concerns effectively.
