Hi all,
I'm in a bit of a unique situation as far as I can tell, and wondering if anyone can help advise or let me know of any examples of how this worked for people?
In short, I'm a dual US/EU Citizen born and raised in the US, but with an EU B.A. and EU masters in Intl. Tax. Experience is a little more than a year at a US MNE's EU subsidiary as a tax associate, and currently employed for ~2 years at an EU B4 in their FS line as a tax consultant.
Honestly most of my experience is in EU tax for obvious reasons (UCITS and AIF funds), but I've also worked on US advisory both from a US Person and Non-resident Alien perspective (Subchapter M rules, chapter 3/4 withholding, Individual US Fed for private bank clients), and international topics (cross-border merger tax impacts, structuring, Pillar 2, CRS, DTT analysis).
I'm hoping to return to the US (ideally NYC where I have friends/family) in 1 - 3 years, and ideally stay in tax (either public or industry), was looking for advice on:
- What Public Accounting service lines might be most open to me?
- Any roles or cities I should look out for that value EU/Intl. tax experience?
- Should I expect to take a title cut?
- Are US Asset Managers / PE / Banks interested in EU/intl. experience? I expect a move to US public first would make the most sense to round out my US Tax experience
On track to pass the EA by the end of the year, and my plan is to subsequently get the missing Audit course credits I need to sit the CPA in NYS (and if it matters, one of my parents is a non-practicing CPA).
I'd really appreciate any insights, and happy to clarify anything.
