Can Business Interpreting Help Bilingual Finance Careers?
Business interpreting training for bilingual adults can be a very savvy investment. Whether or not you realize it now, your language proficiency goes well beyond spreadsheets and tax codes. In fact, getting your business interpreter certificate can elevate your bilingual finance career and even open new revenue streams.
According to the 2023 LA Times Survey of Immigrants, 53% of immigrants with a Limited English Proficiency (LEP) say they have faced language barriers when attempting to file taxes. Which is why the taxpaying immigrant population prefers to file with a CPA in person; rather than using a filing program like TurboTax, for example. However, now that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has announced that they will be sharing data with ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) many have questioned whether documented immigrants should file tax returns at all. Here's why our business interpreting training program matters now, more than ever... especially for bilingual finance careers.
Why does a business interpreting certificate matter for bilingual finance careers?
Maybe you already work for an accounting firm. You might be a bilingual CPA (Certified Public Accountant), or training to become one. You could just be working at an investment firm, as an entry-level associate or assistant. Because the reality is that everyone needs to navigate the United States financial system. Even the taxpaying immigrant families, who have been issued an ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number). Which in order to receive one, you must navigate the immigration system legally. And now, many legal immigrant families with proper government documentation have rational concerns about how their data might be used.
The uncertainty of the situation is leaving a large portion of the population afraid to follow the rules, do the right thing, and pay their taxes. Even when they have done everything right. So if you find yourself at the intersection of working in finance, and just so happen to be a bilingual adult then you have an opportunity here to make a huge impact.
