Join a highly respected CPA firm that truly offers the best of both worlds: the close‑knit culture of a local practice backed by the resources and stability of a national platform. This is a succession role with a clear path to partner in 1–2 years, stepping into strong, long‑standing client relationships. The firm is growth‑focused, PE‑free, and hiring while others pull back.

Oversee and review engagement deliverables to ensure quality control standards are consistently met.
Partner with firm leadership on business development, including client meetings, presentations, and proposal preparation.
Demonstrate a strong understanding of Qualified Plan needs and related client requirements.
Supervise, mentor, and develop staff through regular performance feedback, training, and evaluations.
Foster a team‑oriented culture, support management decisions, and contribute to a positive, collaborative work environment.
Perform additional responsibilities as assigned.
Qualifications:
Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field required; Master’s degree preferred.

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
