Some tax preparers continue their academic education and work toward becoming certified public accountants. Others specialize in certain areas of taxation, such as real estate, corporate, or nonprofit work. Tax preparers who specialize in certain fields are able to charge higher fees for their services.
Experienced tax preparers may advance their careers by establishing a private consulting business. They may work alone or grow their business by hiring and managing other tax preparers and support staff.
