Clever campaign. I’m sure it works great and is completely fair game.
.@RivetTax announcement time!
Welcoming Sanju Kumari and Arpitha John as our newest Assistant Tax Managers.
Arpitha joins after 7 years at Grant Thornton and EY, where she focused on HNWI personal income tax preparation, with a special focus on issues that modern family offices and newly wealthy individuals often face – state/trust income tax prep, gift tax return prep, and FBAR/114 filings - all filing requirements that we bump into frequently with our clients at @RivetTax.
Sanju joins us after 5 years at Grant Thornton and EY, also focused on HNWI personal income tax preparation. Sanju is also an Enrolled Agent – not an easy credential to earn while working full-time – which means she's uniquely privileged to represent taxpayers in front of the IRS. She was also the only candidate we've interviewed who picked up on a subtle issue with a sample Sch C we hid inside of our interview case study.
Personally, I'm most excited and humbled the best and brightest tax preparers are choosing @RivetTax over the Big 4 to build and grow their careers and skillsets in tax.
Sanju and Arpitha, welcome! 🙂
