I have been a sales and use tax auditor for over 10 years, this has been by far the best job that I have ever had. The things that I love most about this job is the ability to interact with my taxpayers, getting to know them and help them improve their processes to ensure a better outcome in the event they are audited again in the future. During my time with the state I have worked with taxpayers from small mom and pop establishments to Fortune 500 corporations. I also loved that I was able to share my expertise and experiences with new auditors, to show them why this job was one of the best they will ever have.
