Enrolled Agent (EA) – The High-Growth Career Path for Commerce & Management Graduates
If you’re pursuing BCom, or have already graduated in commerce or management, you’ve probably realised something important:
A degree alone isn’t enough to stand out in today’s competitive job market.
The good news? There’s a global career path that combines specialised skills, high earning potential, and international recognition – becoming an Enrolled Agent (EA).
What is an Enrolled Agent (EA)?
An Enrolled Agent is a US federally licensed tax professional, authorised by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to:
- Represent individuals and businesses before the IRS
- Handle US taxation matters for clients across the world
- Work in tax advisory, compliance, and consulting for both individuals and corporations
In India, EAs are in high demand in Big 4 firms, MNCs, and specialised US taxation outsourcing companies due to the huge volume of US clients served from India.
Why EA is a Great Choice for Commerce & Management Graduates
- Global Recognition: EA license is valid across the USA and highly respected worldwide.
- High Demand in India: Thousands of roles in US taxation outsourcing, KPOs, and MNC finance departments.
- Fast-Track Certification: EA exams can be cleared in 6–9 months with focused training.
- High Earning Potential:
- Entry-level: ₹4–6 LPA
- Mid-level (3–5 years): ₹8–12 LPA
- Senior/Manager roles: ₹15–20+ LPA
- International Career Opportunities: US, Middle East, Singapore, and more.
