Maybe you’ve built a strong foundation in a larger public practice firm, but you’re starting to wonder if there’s a different way to do this work.
A way where you can still work with great clients, continue to grow professionally, and challenge yourself technically — but in an environment that feels more collaborative, entrepreneurial, flexible, and human.
This opportunity offers the chance to step into a key Accounting Manager role within a highly respected and growing local public practice firm where culture genuinely matters. The team is supportive, down-to-earth, and highly collaborative — the kind of environment where people enjoy working together, help each other out during busy seasons, and build real relationships with both clients and coworkers.
The client base is incredibly engaged and entrepreneurial, giving you the opportunity to work closely with business owners and leaders across a variety of industries where your advice and insight truly make an impact.
This is a role for someone who enjoys public practice, but maybe wants to leave behind some of the grind, hierarchy, and bureaucracy that can come with larger firms — while continuing to do meaningful, challenging, and rewarding work.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Lead, mentor, and support a team of accounting professionals
- Prepare and review year-end files, financial statements, and tax engagements
- Review compilation, review, and audit files while providing constructive feedback and guidance to staff
- Work closely with entrepreneurial clients and act as a trusted advisor
- Support personal tax preparation and client financial reporting needs
- Help improve processes, workflows, and client service delivery
- Collaborate with a team that values professionalism, accountability, and having fun together along the way
What They’re Looking For
- CPA designation
- 3–5+ years of public practice accounting experience
- Leadership or supervisory experience
- Strong technical accounting and tax knowledge
- Someone who enjoys building relationships with clients and colleagues
- A collaborative, mature, and solutions-oriented mindset
- A professional who takes their work seriously — but not themselves too seriously
Why People Are Excited About This Opportunity
- A genuinely supportive and enjoyable team environment
- Strong flexibility and hybrid work options
- Entrepreneurial and highly engaged clients
- Meaningful exposure and the ability to make an impact
- Less bureaucracy and more collaboration
- Opportunity to continue growing your career in public practice without sacrificing culture and quality of life
- Competitive compensation, paid time off, health spending account, and additional time off during the holidays
- The ability to continue building your own client relationships and professional profile over time
The Environment
- This is the kind of firm where people work hard, trust each other, laugh together, and genuinely enjoy coming to work.
- The leadership team values good people, good relationships, and good work. They believe public practice can still be rewarding, engaging, and sustainable — especially when you surround yourself with the right team and clients.
- If you’re looking for an opportunity to continue growing your public practice career in an environment that feels more entrepreneurial, collaborative, and refreshing, we would love to connect with you.
