Meet Anita – Finance & Management

I'm Anita Ross, and I live in Dallas, Texas, and I'm with the Office of Chief Counsel Finance and Management Division. I am the supervisor for the field program specialists in the central area, and I've been with Chief Counsel for 31 years. Well, you know Chief Counsel represents the Internal Revenue Service and Tax Court and provides legal advice. I work for the division that provides finance and management that supports the tax attorneys. I have a staff all over the nation, and we handle the budget and the expert witness program, just to name a few. I really enjoy working alongside the tax attorneys and working to resolve issues that we encounter with procurement during the expert witness process regarding the policies and the procedures. Well, you know, in the 31 years that I've been with Chief Counsel, I've had the opportunity to use the Human Resources Investment Fund. It's also known as HRIF. I have taken courses to develop my skills for promotion opportunities. I have taken management courses to prepare me for my current job. You know, I would share with them that Counsel is a great place to work. I've been here for 31 years, and the opportunities for you to grow and develop your skills and knowledge are endless. We have training, great benefits, telework options, and great people. The people in Counsel are the best. We all work together, we get the job done, and when one goes down, we all lend a hand to assist. And finally, it's like being part of a large family.
