I am delighted that Women In Tax has been given the unique opportunity to guest edit this week’s Tax Journal. This is very much in line with our central aim of raising the profiles and voices of women in all spheres of the tax profession.
When putting this edition together, we received almost 50 submissions for ideas for articles. I was very impressed with both the quality and range of suggestions. I would like to thank all who applied, as well as to say a special thank you to the financial secretary to the Treasury, Lucy Frazer MP, for her contribution. The articles we selected help showcase the breadth of talent of women working in the industry today. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I did.
Our general message to women in tax is to develop a growth mindset, have clear goals on where you want to go and to learn from, rather than be discouraged by, the setbacks you encounter along the way.
I leave you with one of my favourite quotes from Mother Theresa: ‘I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the water to create many ripples.’ I encourage you all to cast a stone across the water to create many ripples within the tax profession. Together we are stronger and we can all help make a positive change.
