We continue our special CAS block on The Unique CPA as Kane Polakoff, the Client Advisory Services Practice Leader at CohnReznick, joins Randy on Episode 217. Kane has nearly three decades of experience in starting CAS practices, and they discuss the evolution, challenges, and best practices in building and managing CAS. Kane goes into significant detail on the importance of integrating technology, the opportunity of expanding operations globally, and of hiring dynamic individuals who can handle CAS’s unique challenges, but he is also a passionate advocate for culture and mental health awareness within accounting, and he stresses that a supportive work environment is just as vital in ensuring the success of any practice, CAS or otherwise. Ultimately, he and Randy agree that above all, the profession is highly collaborative, and you will find support with anything you need, particularly CAS, if you simply ask for help from those who have been there before.
