Should I leave 8 years in property accounting to do tax/advisory work?

I am torn between property accounting which I kinda don't like its ok, but I am interested in getting into tax / advisory work. Not just doing tax returns but advisory and possibly having my own firm. I own a few properties of my own so that is some experience running a business.

Taxes I like and I am taking the ea classes now. I kinda want to explore it more since I have properties of my own I do accounting and taxes for and I actually really like it.

I want the following in 20 years:

  • more autonomy
  • higher pay ceiling
  • a industry that has lots of growth in 10 - 20 years
  • possibility of going on my own

anyone gone from property accounting to tax work?
