I recently joined a national firm's tax department. Prior experience was at a local "tax only" firm, but we also provided accounting services like bookkeeping, payroll, and sales tax, along with tax planning and compliance services. I loved the accounting side of things. Now that I'm in a larger firm, it seems that actually falls under client advisory services? I feel I joined the wrong department

You are correct. At a large firm those responsibilities should be under client advisory services, not tax. That was one of the things I missed when I went from small firm to national firm. I liked doing a bit of everything. However, I quickly learned that doing all of the disciplines makes you okay at all of them, but great at none of them.
