Pia Fretz Beros, a junior pursuing BS Accountancy, clinched the second place in the esteemed EY Global Delivery Services - Young Tax Professional of the Year (YTPY) 2023 competition. The virtual event, held via MS Teams in Bangalore, India, saw Beros competing with top talents from Hungary, India, Argentina, and the Philippines on January 8.
The finals, featuring 10 exceptional participants, culminated in Asritha Chillara from India securing the championship. Chillara will go on to represent EY GDS in the 2024 EY Young Tax Professional of the Year competition, while Beros proudly stood as the 1st Runner-up.
Ernst and Young (EY) Global Delivery Services Careers is managed and organized the competition for 13 years, with the active involvement of EY GDS for six years. It serves as a platform to discover and recognize emerging talents in the field of taxation.
Beros navigated through a comprehensive three-stage process, showcasing her expertise in fundamental tax concepts, logical reasoning, and English grammar. The competition involved moderated discussions, personal interviews, and informative learning sessions, with Beros emerging as a standout representative for the Philippines.
Reflecting on the impact of the case study, Beros noted the value of pre-competition tax learning sessions, which provided insights into current international tax issues and the application of technology in addressing tax matters. Despite a demanding academic schedule, Beros strategically prepared for the competition, demonstrating confidence in responding to detailed questions and ultimately securing the 2nd place.
