Real-world examples and advice on pursuing a career as a tax consultant.

Consulting is a rapidly growing field; in 1996, worldwide revenues in consulting were 60 billion dollars, and they are expected to top 100 billion in the year 2000. Getting Started in Tax Consulting is one of five new books in a specialized consulting series from Wiley. This book features chapters on qualifications, training, employment opportunities, resources, computer programs, Web sites, and more. There is also a section that profiles six tax professionals who offer practical advice and helpful anecdotes. Plus, the book is packed with visually appealing icons, callouts, and bulleted lists.
