As an Enrolled Agent, I have strong technical expertise in various aspects of tax compliance, such as sales and use tax, VAT, GST, consumption tax, and other taxes.I have a proven track record of developing and implementing process and technology improvements across indirect tax compliance, as well as resolving complex tax issues with global accounting teams and tax technical support teams. I have also successfully defended Microsoft in US sales tax audits and achieved substantial tax savings by appealing to the states with the legal team. I am passionate about delivering high-quality tax services and contributing to Microsoft\'s growth and innovation.
