Retaining Top Tax Talent in 2025 Starts with One Smart Move: Invest in Their Growth

May 23


Your people are your greatest asset. But what happens when they feel under-supported, overworked, or stuck in their roles? They leave.

According to recent reports from HSBC UK Accountancy Sector Outlook Report and the Consultancy Group's 2025 Tax Salary Guide, tax professionals are feeling the pressure. Many are reconsidering their future with their current employers. As regulations, technology and responsibilities continue to expand, investing in your tax team’s development is no longer optional. It’s essential.

Training = Retention

We’re seeing a shift. Salary, while important, is no longer the sole motivator.
What are today's tax professionals looking for?

  • Ongoing professional and technical development
  • Leadership and management training
  • Exposure to emerging tax issues and tools
  • Clear career growth pathways.


In fact, the 2025 Tax Salary Guide reveals that 72% of tax professionals say access to development and training is a key factor in whether they stay or go.

Pair that with findings from the HSBC report, which shows rising burnout due to understaffing and poor support.  The overarching message is clear -companies that don’t invest in their teams are losing them.

Feedback from a Corporate and International Tax Director:
The most impressive part of the training for me was the mix of theory and first-hand experience - drawing on the ExtraTax team's vast experience, covering Practice, Industry and Tax Authority points of view.

I was also impressed with their willingness to really invest in my team’s all round development and not just lecture at them.

I couldn’t recommend the services of ExtraTax Training highly enough.
