What’s the best way to set myself up for a future consulting position? I’m a CPA with eight years of tax experience, and I’m half a year into my new FP&A job. It’s going great, so I think I’ll stay a while; however, I miss the client engagement and variety of professional services. I thought consulting would be a good spot. Are there things I should do over the next year or two to set myself up for a better chance of getting a consulting job?

To add: I got into a great PT MBA program, but I’m not sure the juice is worth the squeeze for that work.

I saw there is a consulting FB, but I don’t have access, so I thought this was a great bowl too for advice.

I want to do finance transformation or strategy consulting. I realize the strategy bit may be a stretch, but I'm looking into the weekend MBAs at Booth, Northwestern, and Ross. I'd hope one of those schools could help (I have the GPA, and I should have the GMAT score, but I know the weekend programs are still competitive).
