Explore Client Advisory Services as a revenue-generating business line for your firm

This half-day workshop is targeted at firms in the Introductory phase of their CAS journeys; these firms are likely evaluating starting a CAS practice, or have recently hired new-to-CAS staff.

Learners will be led through independent activities to make decisions about how a CAS practice could look for their clients, staff, and firm.
