Episode 13: Career at HLB Stückmann - from student to tax assistant
Martin Treffke talks to Jonas Lükewille about his career from student to starting his career as a tax assistant at HLB Stückmann.
Prejudices? What is it really like to work in tax consultancy?
When they hear the term tax consultancy, most people immediately wave it off - especially when it comes to their own career choice. Too boring, too complicated, too much paper. But is that really true? Or could working in tax consultancy not be much more interesting than is generally assumed? Jonas gives us an insight into his day-to-day work and explains what makes his job so exciting and which preconceptions about tax consultancy can be dispelled.
Gain practical experience during your studies
Combining the practical with the useful is rarely a bad idea. So it's all the better if you can earn some extra money alongside your studies with a job that prepares you for your future career. Jonas and Martin tell us how you can imagine working as a student trainee at Stückmann, what tasks await those interested and how Jonas' induction was successful even under the difficult conditions of the coronavirus pandemic.
Support and collaboration with colleagues
There's no doubt about it: tax advice is complex, multifaceted and, admittedly, sometimes very complicated. That's why it works best in a team. How do colleagues work together in the firm, what support do you receive as a working student and/or young professional and what is the advantage of networking as widely as possible?
Development, further training and specialization at HLB Stückmann
How do you manage to keep up to date with the constant changes and developments in tax law? And why do you do this voluntarily and take the tax consultant exam? Jonas explains the reasons behind his motivation and the role played by the exchange of ideas with colleagues beyond the business side of things.
