You are right on this. In a Finnish context, verovalmistelija should be translated as 'tax assessment clerk', even if the words themselves can be literally translated as tax preparer.
Peer comment(s):

disagree Timo Lehtilä : As I understand it 'tax prepare' is appr. the same as 'tax consultant'. 'Verovalmistelija' is a person that works in the tax office, he is a tax office worker who prepares the desicions for sbd who makes the decisions.
