How much math is involved in finance for lawyers and tax law? And how complex?

Tax lawyer here.
There is almost no math involved. The only math I do on a daily basis is adding up my hours on the timesheets. There will be some basic math every once and a while- nothing you didn't learn by the 8th grade.
That said, being able to read a balance sheet and understanding financial considerations is important. It's about understanding the meaning of numbers- not math per-se.

what do tax lawyers do after biglaw? Do they go in-house like typical corporate associates?
