About the role
This executive interview examines how you would lead a tax practice, not simply solve a technical question. The panel is looking for a defensible professional stance, an informed view of client demand, disciplined portfolio governance and a credible approach to talent, investment and sustainable growth.
How to prepare
- Form a clear view of the tax issues creating the greatest client uncertainty and how your practice should respond.
- Prepare an example where you declined, reshaped or escalated commercially attractive work because of risk.
- Map how you have originated and expanded senior client relationships through useful advice.
- Think through the measures you use to judge practice health beyond revenue alone.
- Choose examples of succession, specialist investment and difficult promotion decisions.
Common mistakes
- Answering as the most senior technician in the room rather than the leader of a practice.
- Describing growth without addressing concentration, conflicts and reputational risk.
- Treating cross-service tensions as personal disputes instead of governance questions.
- Making talent claims without showing how you built successors and specialist capability.
