Hi,

I am fairly new in the tax preparation business. Just started this year.  I am looking to transition my career from project management to Tax Professional. I have been thinking of pursuing Graduate studies in Taxation. My question is, do I really need a graduate studies in taxation in order to launch a successful tax professional career?. The course is expensive so I want to make sure it will be worth it. I understand, the course gives you credit to do CPA. Any advise or direction would be much appreciated.

I currently have CTEC and am I thinking it is not a very strong designation.
