Your best bet would be join VITA this season for volunteer (if you can afford it), for 15 hours per week. It's a little late in the game, but tax season is extended until July this year. You can also try H&R block, or some non-profit organization / staff agency (which they paid). Usually it came with a brief training (like 5 hour), you passed a test, and then will be assigned / placement and do tax returns for low-income families (or regular clients). Depending on your state, you might be able to work remotely.
I don't know much about real estate / financial planning.
Depends on how open you are to other field in accounting, you might want to aim for bookkeeping and general accounting to get your foot into the door first. Art history major will gain you best chance in companies like designer firm, museums, book stores, etc. As a bookkeeper, you will be introduce to general accounting, sales tax, payroll tax, etc. and you can slowly build it up. Another reason why I recommended this option is that you can do it part time and remotely. Aim for firms that use Quick Book Online, and you can do them at home. This will help you transit from full time parenting to work lady, plus flexible to take days off to deal with your kid and continue to go for interview.
I would also check with friends and coworker from 6 years ago and now, tell everyone you are looking to transit out from full time mom, and see who have a job. Someone got to know an accountant who might know someone in need of help.
