Partners in public accounting firms recognize the benefit of a graduate degree for future advancement in the tax service area. To study if firms are offering financial incentives to encourage and reward individuals in the tax service area who seek graduate degrees, a questionnaire was sent to 592 personnel partners in public accounting firms. The results indicate the types of support that public account firms are willing to provide for graduate tax education.
