CAS is, first, a mindset. It exists in every professional accountant. Some know it exists in them. Some don’t. Some know that the CAS mindset exists in them but do not make the most of it. Instead, they try to become everything to everyone. They become more of “need-fillers” than “accounting entrepreneurs (Accountaneurs®).” They find it challenging to become the “most trusted advisors” of their clients.
