>> I love that I help make a direct impact on the bottom line.
We're able to kind of have more leeway when it comes to planning and figuring out ways
to save the company money, and so it's not just sitting there crunching numbers all day.
You can actually help make a difference in what's coming
out in those quarterly earnings releases or the tax return at the end of the day and seeing,
you know, we're not paying as much cash taxes this year because I helped
with this new planning aspect or something like that.
So that's very rewarding.
Well, it's just a constantly evolving landscape.
There's new tax regulations that come out, so that you're having to learn new tax law
or International Paper has a new merger or acquisition, and so you're trying
to determine the correct treatment for tax purposes.
So there's always something new going on, where you're kind of having to stretch yourself
and learn something new, which is also rewarding at the same time,
but it's definitely a challenge keeping up with everything as it changes so quickly.
