Gastón Sejas - Tax Coordinator

 Argentina

I joined TMF Group...

I  joined as a Tax Analyst in TMF Argentina, working in Accounting and Tax, in January 2018.

I was promoted to...

Tax Supervisor in May 2020 and promoted again in November 2020 to Accounting Manager. I left in May 2021  to try something else, then returned a year later as a Tax Coordinator.

I'm responsible for...

Tax advisory and consulting for our clients. This is a new service designed to increase advisory sales that was previously within Compliance.

I returned to TMF because...

Colleagues reached out and asked me if I wanted to come back - evidence of how TMF Group invests in talent. I learned a lot by leaving the company and coming back.

My aspirations are...

I'd like to build a complete department for tax advisory/ consulting for Argentina and South LatAm. I need to have something to aim for and to see it clearly in my mind. It does not matter if I run or walk - I'm always moving forward.

I have developed my skills by...

Working as an Accounting Manager. But with 90% of my professional and educational background focused on tax, I am grateful to have the opportunity to be back at TMF Group and for my new challenge in tax advisory.

Best piece of career advice...

When I  was Accounting Manager, my leader told me, "Do not get too upset when things go wrong", which helped me focus on the solution when it comes to clients' problems.

My colleagues have supported me...

Encouraging me to return to TMF Group. Senior colleagues took the time to listen to me and talk to me about developing my career at TMF Group. I encourage you to work closely with senior TMFers to learn from them. And be open to every door. Be ready to raise your hand when the opportunities come up.

My biggest motivation is working with clients to solve their problems and making a difference every single day and helping others with their career path, in the same way I received support.
