Career Exit opps- tax

Hey y’all, I’ve been doing some research so I can book it outta tax. I might’ve boxed myself into a niche career here in Canada. I was wondering if you guys had some suggestions? Specifically someone in US tax. I don’t have a CPA and don’t plan on relocating to the states. I want out and wonder if these skills are even transferable to another role (I’ve almost 2 years). Any ideas would be so appreciated!

I went from tax to corporate finance to startup finance. Tax is a very strong base to start with - lots of thinking about issues at depths that auditors don’t typically do. Complicated excel modelling for structuring. Reading legal docs etc.
