1040s are the lowest level of tax.

This is exactly why I got out of the hnw tax group. That being said most other tax groups are 90% compliance as well, and consulting work is very much the exception not the rule.

I'm in a mid-size (top 20ish) so might be different from big4. Partnership side is very compliance heavy (a lot of k-1s to pump out). REITs have plenty of compliance too, but a lot of consulting/structuring involved.
Hnw is gonna be mostly compliance work for CPAs. You’d need to move to m&a ,ITS, or SALT consulting if you want to do consulting work
This is literally the reason I didn’t go this route out of school
Agree! That’s why I love my consulting focus currently but ultimately looking to exit to a more strategy/structuring role on the client side.
