Tax Controversy Positions

Seek wouldn’t let us link to the job ad anymore but we thought we would bring you a copy of the PWC tax controversy position before they took it down. We have it on good authority that:

“PWC had made 2 rounds of redundancies, affecting tax area in one of them and getting rid of lower levels, yet now they are hiring managers and senior managers from their seek ads. A bit of a tax controversy given couldn’t they have used existing staff to do the work”

Hey Seek / PWC, we’re doing you a favour! We are generating more interest for that position. Maybe someone will take on this poisoned chalice. For the second ad see below.

Look no further for controversy than at PWC tax

Our Tax HR correspondent reported this hot tip over the news wire.

PWC are now hiring 2 tax controversy staff at management and senior consultant level. Don’t get us wrong, tax controversy is a great area to be in. It’s just that PWC let go over 100 staff recently from their Australian offices. Its tough times given the global economic crisis. Even some of our friends were laid off.

So how is PWC hiring two new staff?

The ad claims the following:

“As we continue to grow our Sydney Practice”
“Rapidly growing practice”
“Ambitious and fast growing team”

We would hardly think that these areas are growing or expanding if you have just laid off a significant proportion of your workforce. A bit hypocritical we think.

By way of background, tax controversy is a specialist and growing area. One of our colleagues works in this area and has told us in the past that this position deals with tax litigation, tax audit and negotiation with the ATO.

In later posts, we will confirm with our sources regarding the exact number of staff that PWC and throughout the Big 4 industry has laid off.
