If you’re in accounting and wanting to do tax work you’ll need to become a CPA. With that certification you can pretty much do anything in accounting but you might also consider becoming a certified financial planner. If you work in a tax firm the latter won’t do you much good really but clients might like to see it. The CPA is basically all encompassing.

Accounting is the basis for all financial matters. For background clients like to see CPA and CFP on your business card. So you would want to start as a tax person at a large CPA firm since taxes are basic to all financial planning and then get into planning and investments.
