Interview prep

Fit summary

Strong fit if you already lead federal direct-tax work at manager+ level and want internal (in-house firm) tax ownership at a Big Four network. Less ideal if you need remote work or prefer pure client-service engagement billing over firm-tax operations.

Day in the role

As Associate Director on Deloitte’s Internal Tax Team (Federal Direct Tax), a typical day centers on federal income-tax positions for the firm itself: reviewing computations and workpapers, coordinating with finance and external advisors, tracking legislative and IRS guidance, and clearing issues before filings or provision cycles. You would coach specialists, set review standards, and escalate complex entity or multi-jurisdiction questions to partners or counsel.

Skills to emphasize

Prioritize deep federal corporate/partnership tax technical skill, ASC 740 awareness, and clear review-level writing. Listed free learning options (general, not tax-specific): Saylor Academy — Health Sciences courses (free); Coursera — audit-track healthcare courses (free to learn). Pair those with IRS publications, firm methodology, and internal tax CPE for role-relevant depth.
