Kicking CAS – Pick a Lane: How Vertical Focus Unlocks CAS Growth

Featuring Kane Polakoff, Partner & CAS Practice Leader, CohnReznick

Most CAS practices try to serve everyone. And that’s exactly why they struggle to scale, standardize, or stand out.

In this 30-minute Kicking CAS Lunch & Learn, Kane Polakoff joins us to talk about what happens when firms stop being generalists and start building CAS around specific industries.

We’ll cover:

• The real value add for clients and for the firm

• How to pick your first vertical (and what to look for in your existing client base)

• What has to change across people, process, and technology to make it work

• Where firms get stuck and how to move past it

Kane didn’t just study this. He built it. CohnReznick’s CAS practice has grown at scale through vertical focus, and he’s here to share what actually works.

Bring your questions. We’ll bring the candor.
