For me, good tax advice is
Good advice must be thorough and clear. Thorough means that the client gets a complete picture of the impact of relevant laws and regulations on his situation. Clear means not woolly, no circumlocution, and no unnecessary jargon.
Why STP?
STP is a small, flexible organization with a strong sense of belonging. It’s a smart, agile firm where the human scale and high quality go hand in hand. I get most enjoyment from the technical aspects. At STP, I have plenty of opportunities for this with a technical role towards clients, organizing our regular Tax Advisors Meeting, and my role at the University.
Advice to newcomers to the profession
Soak up as much as you can at the start of your career. Gain as much broad knowledge and experience as you can. You will benefit from that later.
