Kelly Boswell, the Director of Tax Controversy with the San Antonio based accounting firm ADKF, joined us for this episode of Where Accountants Go, the Accounting Careers Podcast.

Kelly accepted her new role as Director of Tax Controversy early last year, so we invited her on the show to talk more about that specific specialty.  “Tax controversy” specialists seem to be popping up with many firms in the marketplace, so it was time to do an episode that covered that area of interest in depth.  As you will hear in Kelly’s career story, many of her previous experiences helped build her into an ideal professional for this type of role, and we discuss some of that background in this interview so that those interested in the field can guide their own career in that direction.

However, we also stumbled on another interesting facet of Kelly’s career journey:  the fact that she postponed her career for 12 years after finishing school.  Kelly was at the point right after college where her and her husband wanted to start a family, so she temporarily put her career on hold about the time most people are just getting started.  This made for an inspiring story though, as you will hear about the steps she took to help better her situation when re-entering the workforce.  There is tremendous value in that portion of the story as well.

There truly is great value for many different types of professionals in this episode.  If you enjoy this interview, please also check out:  Shanikwa Davis and Elena Levario
