I'm 2 years into my accounting career at big 4 audit. I plan to open a CAS/CFO services firm in the next 5–7 years, focusing on advisory services like forecasting, budgeting, and bookkeeping for small businesses. However, I don't have any tax experience, which many firm owners offer to get their foot in the door before providing advisory services. How would I go about gaining that tax experience or should I just plan to partner with a tax professional in the future?
