As a taxation student, I realize that theory from lectures needs to be complemented by practical experience in the field. On that basis, I chose the Shinta Wulandari Chandra Tax Consultant Office as the place to carry out the Practical Work Study. A professional work environment and open study space make this office the right choice to truly understand the world of taxation.
During my internship, I was involved in several tax operational activities such as:
• Input data and check completeness of files before SPT reporting
• Observe the SPT preparation process and tax consultations for clients
• Get to know and learn the use of various tax software and applications
• Operate financial applications such as Microsoft Excel for data and calculation needs
These tasks provide a more real understanding of the tax workflow from the initial stage to final reporting, as well as increasing technical skills in managing data with digital tools.
Apart from activities in the office, I also had the opportunity to visit several client companies, namely PT Hong Kai Jaya Indonesia and PT Superindo Jaya Makmur. This visit was a meaningful experience because I could see firsthand how the client's communication process and tax needs were handled. I learned that each company has different tax conditions and characteristics, so the solutions provided by tax consultants must be professional, careful and in accordance with regulations.
Through the guidance of the entire staff and team, I gained a lot of insight into the world of tax consulting, both from a technical perspective and work ethics. This learning forms a mindset that tax practitioners do not only work with numbers, but are also responsible for maintaining client trust through thoroughness, discipline and integrity.
This internship confirmed that the world of taxation is a field that I want to explore in the future. Working in the tax sector not only demands expertise, but also integrity, commitment and responsibility. I feel lucky to be able to see firsthand how tax professionals carry out their duties in real life, an experience that cannot be obtained only through lectures.
I hope this experience will be a strong foundation for my career as a prospective tax practitioner. Armed with academic knowledge and practical experience from this office, I am increasingly ready to enter the world of work and take on greater responsibilities in the future.
Finally, I would like to express my gratitude to the Shinta Wulandari Chandra Tax Consultant Office for the opportunity, trust and guidance given during my internship period. This experience was a very meaningful first step in my journey towards a profession in the field of taxation.
