Opportunities — Entrepreneurial CPA Leaders

Build Something Bigger. Get Paid for Performance. Keep the Culture You Love.

 Our client, a growing private equity-backed CPA platform is expanding its presence in Raleigh, North Carolina, and Spokane, Washington, and is looking for entrepreneurial tax professionals who want more than the traditional public accounting career path.

They are currently hiring Tax Partners and Senior Tax Managers for two established, highly regarded local CPA firms.

These are ideal opportunities for CPAs who are great with clients, commercially minded, and motivated by the opportunity to grow a book of business and directly participate in the financial upside they create.

Why This Opportunity Is Different

If you're a CPA who wants to spend the next 10 years simply inheriting clients, billing hours, and fitting into an increasingly large organization, this probably isn't the opportunity for you.

But if you're the kind of accountant who thinks:

"I can build this."

"I can grow these client relationships."

"I want my compensation to reflect the value and revenue I generate."

—you may be exactly who we're looking for.

You'll have the resources and support of an established firm, while retaining the entrepreneurial feel, personal relationships, and autonomy that make smaller firms attractive.

Both firms have a friendly, family-oriented culture and primarily serve high-net-worth individuals and small-to-mid-sized business owners.

TAX PARTNER — Raleigh, NC

Join an established Raleigh CPA firm with approximately $8M in annual revenue and 45 employees.

Compensation:

• $180,000–$240,000 guaranteed base
• You get paid 35% of your billings with no cap
• Additional 5% of billings generated by your team

The upside is substantial.

For example:

• $500K in personal billings = $175K in production-based compensation
• $1M in personal billings = $350K in production-based compensation
• If your team generates $1M in billings, that's an additional $50K

The model is designed for someone who wants to build relationships, grow revenue, develop a team, and participate meaningfully in the success they create.

TAX PARTNER — Spokane, WA

Join an established Spokane CPA firm with approximately $2M in annual revenue and 9 employees.

Compensation:

• $180,000–$240,000 guaranteed base
• 35% of your billings
• Additional 5% of billings generated by your team

This is an especially compelling opportunity for a CPA who wants to become a key leader in a growing local firm while maintaining the close-knit culture of a smaller practice.

SENIOR TAX MANAGER — Raleigh, NC or Spokane, WA

We're also looking for experienced Senior Tax Managers who want to take their career and earning potential to the next level.

Compensation:

• $130,000–$180,000 guaranteed base
• 33% of your billings

For example:

• $390K in personal billings = $130K
• $540K in personal billings = $180K

Rather than being locked into a traditional salary structure, your earning potential grows with the business you help generate.

Who We're Looking For

We're looking for CPAs who are:

• Entrepreneurial and commercially minded
• Strong relationship builders
• Comfortable working directly with business owners and high-net-worth individuals
• Motivated by performance and financial upside
• Confident enough to operate with autonomy
• Interested in building and growing client relationships
• Natural leaders who enjoy developing people
• Experienced in tax and public accounting
• Looking for an opportunity to make a meaningful impact rather than simply maintain the status quo

You don't need to be a traditional "corporate" personality. In fact, we'd prefer someone who isn't.

We're looking for people with initiative, personality, ambition, and the desire to build something.

What You'll Get

• Competitive guaranteed compensation
• Significant performance-based earning potential
• Full benefits
• Unlimited PTO
• Established client relationships and firm infrastructure
• Entrepreneurial autonomy
• Opportunity to grow a team and client base
• A friendly, family-oriented culture
• The backing and resources of a private equity-backed organization focused on long-term growth

The Bottom Line

This is an opportunity to join an established CPA practice without giving up the entrepreneurial upside that attracted you to public accounting in the first place.

If you're a CPA who wants to build, lead, grow, and get paid for the value you create, we'd like to talk.

Tax Partner and Senior Tax Manager opportunities are available in Raleigh, NC and Spokane, WA.
