Additional information

A recruiter at today's virtual talk about EYX referred you to me in order for me to learn more about the PAS practice. More specifically, I know that PAS is a joint venture between Advisory and Tax, and I would like to know more about the difference between those two 'sides' of PAS. Thank you so much in advance!

Natasha F.

People Advisory Services (Senior Advisor)

Hello Aitana and thank you for your question! Both sides are very different, I actually started in the Tax side and then formally applied for a transfer to the advisory side. In tax (or 'Global Mobility' which was my area) I dealt with individuals who are working across several countries. They may be from the UK for example but on an international assignment across Europe. We often work with them directly in addition to their HR managers on aspects of their assignment, including the tax implications of this. In Tax I worked at the same desk in the same office every day and had the same group of clients for the full two years. In contrast, I have now moved to the Advisory side (called 'Workforce Advisory') which is more focused on helping organisations with various aspects of their people agenda, for example I have worked projects such as large change programmes, talent management, diversity & inclusion and leadership & learning. Unlike Tax, I have been travelling for most of the last 2 years (e.g. I live in Scotland but travelled to London every week for 8 months) and my clients change all the time as they are project based, once one is finished I begin the next. I had an HR background so I think Workforce Advisory was much more suited to me and I'm really glad I moved and love my job. I would have a think about which side you think would be best suited to you as they are very different and the graduate schemes are separate, you don't flick between the two sides. Hopefully this helps but if you have any more questions please just let me know!
