PwC predicts that a successful tax professional of the future will be highly proficient in data analysis, statistics and technology. Our Tax Data & Analytics Academy is a tangible way you can learn these skills in the context of tax and finance data. The Academy starts with a one and a half day workshop that consists of a mix of lectures, demonstrations and hands-on exercises, featuring software tools and techniques currently available for automation, data processing and data visualisations. You can then put what you learn into practice within your organisation with the support of a PwC professional over a four week period to answer follow-up questions. At the end of the four weeks, you will have the option to re-group with us to work through client-specific opportunities.

The real and applicable skills learnt in our Tax Data & Analytics Academy are designed to enable you to operate in the Tax Function of the Future.

At the end of the academy you will be able to build workflows to automate the extraction of data from Excel reports, be a proficient user of a data visualisation tool and have learnt a framework for building your tax data ecosystem.

Attendance qualifies for 12 hours of CPD
