I am interested.

Shoot me an email via NL inbox.

So you just finished NYSC and are torn between jumping into the labour market or returning to school for an MBA. This one is for you!

Computerize your operations.

Ensure you have a POS system for monitoring stock and install an IP Camera.

I also feel all you have is a hunch that your money is being stolen. You might simply not be making what you thought you would be making. This does not mean your goods are being stolen.

Harvard just rubber stamps people who are already capable of success. This is not to take anything away from their curriculum.

The secret formula is simple - if you admit only the best, your graduates would be the best!

Did you say monotonous? You are very wrong.

Tax is a game. As you read laws, you start designing strategies. Very interesting i tell you.

And did i mention plenty money for less work compared to auditing.

nitrogen: Well said, Oga Jarus!

With all that stated up there, I still think tax accounting is a monotonous work. Like the 'issue(s) with FIRS/SIRS thing', only clarifications and some sorting out is needed, or at worse, a tax audit is carried out in your company.

Arguably, the amendments to those acts brings out challenges (not much anyway), and maybe it is best for amendments to be done every five years.

Btw, the new PITA has got something unclear to many, maybe 'una' can help out.
Here we go:

'CRA (Consolidated Relief Allowance), which replaces personal relief is to be computed as the higher of #200k or 1% of gross income, plus 20% of gross income'

Meanwhile gross income isn't defined by the act (as amended), but gross emoluments, does that automatically replace our gross income?

Whatever you do in getting a tax clearance make sure a professional is advising you. Take this advice and thank me later.

A consulting club us a great idea.

You can use this page as a sourcing ground for members. For me, I am done hustling for strategy consulting until b-school is over.

mambani: I'm also a McKinsey hopeful and I'm preparing hard for my next attempt. Bombed their PST due to poor preparation and lack of exposure to the right materials. Victor Cheng provides quality prep materials just like the OP said. Can we all come together to form a consulting club in Lagos to help in preparation for case interviews? Searched Google for it and couldn't find any

I totally understand you as i felt this way too. The preparation process makes you a better person so much that you relish how much you would learn when you are in the company.

However, moving on from there you can apply to investment banks. Corporate finance/Investment Banking units are quite close to strategy consulting. And you can even try Roland Berger too.

Cheers!

lorddeni: More of a cry for help here actually.

Wrote d PST 5th September last yr, got invited 4 dinterviews about a month later. Got the feedback I didn't make it because in the words of one of the session interviewers, 'yl you were very impressive over the interview sessions, in the first business case interview, there was a little problem with your case structuring, so we will be letting you go.

I woke up the next day with all kinds of ideas on how I could have better handled the defective case structuring. Even got in touch with the HR department to know how soon I could reapply and got told in 2 years. Now the problem is this over the course of preparing for the PST and interviewe, I developed a unique deep fondness for the field of strategy consulting which just won't abate. Everyday, I think of what could have been if things had turned out out differently and I just can't move on to be totally honest. Pursuing jobs in other fields has little or no interest for me these days even 3 months after as I still feel Mckinsey is where I belong for optimal development of my abilities.

Any helpful tips would be most appreciated

The wrong representation can be dangerous to the tax office or the Corporate Affairs Commission.
