• Contribute to the firm’s growth-through-acquisition strategy by playing a key role in welcoming and integrating retiring CPAs, their clients, and team members.
• Serve as a trusted leader who ensures continuity and earns confidence during transitions.
• Collaborate closely with firm leadership to modernize systems, streamline workflows, and build a scalable operational foundation for future service lines and team expansion.

What They're Looking For

• A minimum of 10 years of experience in tax advisory with specialization in HNWIs, S-Corporations, partnerships, and trusts
• CPA license required
• Previous experience at the Manager, Senior Manager or Director level within a CPA firm
• Strong communication and client relationship skills, especially with complex financial structures
• Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to lead, problem-solve, and build
• Based in Northern Virginia / Greater D.C. or open to relocation

What’s Offered

• Competitive Compensation: Generous base salary, performance bonuses, and a potential equity pathway
• Hybrid flexibility: 2–3 in-office days per week with the autonomy and support to work effectively
• Streamlined infrastructure: Modern tools and smart systems without legacy bloat or bureaucracy
• Collaborative culture: Join a professional, relationship-driven team focused on delivering extraordinary outcomes for clients
• Firm-level leadership: A real opportunity to grow into a senior leadership or equity position

This is a unique chance to do meaningful work at a high level—and help build a modern, high-integrity CPA firm prepared for long-term success.
