For me, good tax advice is
A well thought-out solution that the client understands.
Why STP?
Because a lot is possible here. In principle, you can create your own path and development. As a student, you are quickly thrown in the deep end and do things that you would only do much later at the Big Four. You are immediately part of the whole thing. Everyone gets along easily and feels on equal terms.
Advice to newcomers to the profession
Listen closely to what the client is looking for and make sure that your advice fits it, both in terms of form and content.
