What It Means To Be A Dad While Working In Tax

Kelly Phillips ErbJune 17, 2021August 2, 2021

I have, over the years, written a lot about being a working mother in the tax profession. But this year, I wanted to hear more about how fatherhood had impacted careers in tax—and vice versa—from those in the profession. So I asked. Within hours, I had received dozens of responses—some nearly a page long—from fathers who wanted to share their experiences.

The overwhelming sentiment? Finding a work-life balance isn’t always easy.

For more, read What Tax Professionals Wish You Knew About Being a Father (on Bloomberg Tax, outside of the paywall).

Every week, you can find my column on Bloomberg Tax. Currently, there is no handy notification or alarm when my column goes live on Bloomberg – but that could be changing soon. For now, I’ll post the links here on Taxgirl. And for even more tax news, follow me on Twitter at @taxgirl.
