Using a wide range of skills to help my clients achieve their dreams

After I finished work at a tax accounting office, I entered KGU’s Graduate School of Economics to earn certification as a licensed tax accountant. I chose KGU because it has a Graduate School of Accountancy and its faculty is well versed in taxation, accountancy, taxation systems, and tax law. I chose the Graduate School of Economics because I wanted to be able face my future with a wide variety of skills in my repertoire. I’m actually also studying in the fields of banking, international economics, and English to further my boundaries. My research is focused on the benefit of sized-based enterprise taxation from a business’s point of view.
Stepping away from the working world for a bit while I was in grad school, I was able to take a look at what it really means to work as a tax accountant. I found that an accountant frequently needs to act like a lawyer and must analyze a problem from many different angles, often the most important angle being the legal perspective. In the future, I’m hoping to work as a tax accountant in my hometown of Nagasaki. I realized my job is more than just calculating a client’s taxes and assessing their financial situation; I want to help my clients envision where they will be five or ten years down the road and them help them achieve their dreams. Being proactive is very important in grad school. Once you learn to be proactive, it is a skill you can use for the rest of your life, no matter what field you work in.
