After 15 years of doing financial reporting for income taxes, I moved back into a U.S. tax compliance role with my employer. The graduate certificate was a great opportunity to bolster my technical tax knowledge and exercise skills I hadn't used in a long time while having the flexibility to choose the classes that were most relevant to my career.
