CPA becoming a RE agent?

[Tanner Woolley]

Hi there! I currently am a 4 year senior tax associate at a Big 4 accounting firm. I have my CPA license and have done taxes for mostly very large investment firms that invest in companies and I’ve also a lot of work with private equity real estate firms. But I feel like my personality is being destroyed as a CPA. I am a huge people person and thrive off of human interaction and connection. Clients and management essentially want robots to crank out returns and workpapers. I need to pivot careers ASAP. I love the prospect of being an agent! It checks every single Box I’m looking for. I know starting out can be very rough, so I’m looking for as many professionals to connect with as I possibly can and any advice you all might have for me!! Currently in the greater Austin TX area and an investment property in San Antonio.
