Northeastern University’s Masters in Taxation
April 15 has finally come and gone which marks the end of Tax Season for most Americans. However between January and April 15th of every year, you can find accountants and tax experts at a variety of major big box stores or setting up kiosks in local malls. However, once the calendar turns to April 16, that doesn’t mean that the life of an accountant, especially one in the expertise of taxation, is over. Both Americans and their businesses require up-to-the minute tax information year-round to make sure they are handling their finances in accordance with IRS tax laws. Knowing they have an accountant with the knowledge they need puts them at ease.
So how does one prepare for such a task? Northeastern University can help with their Masters of Science in Taxation degree.
