Ask your predecessors whether to apply for an audit assistant or a tax assistant, and why, very good.

For assistants, audit assistants and tax assistants are the same, but the businesses involved are different and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Audit assistants are mainly involved in accounting business, including material accounting, cost accounting, sales accounting, profit accounting and tax payment business. Tax assistants are mainly in contact with tax planning and tax collection and management, and to some extent, they have the nature of financial consultation.

Audit assistant can be an enterprise accountant or accounting supervisor in the future; Tax assistants can develop into financial supervisors or planners in the future. Both positions are likely to be CFO positions.

If you are in a small accounting firm, it is best to be an audit assistant, because small accounting firms are generally not exposed to more complicated tax practices, that is to say, it is only the calculation and audit of general taxes. From this perspective, audit assistants can also be exposed to such businesses (value-added tax and income tax). Only large accounting firms with fine division of labor can undertake complex business, such as tax planning within group companies, tax treatment of mergers and acquisitions and so on.
