This is for someone who wants to become a Partner. One of the two partners has already started to step back. The other is carrying too much of the day to day. Work is being turned away. Not because demand is weak, but because capacity at the top is stretched. They want someone to come in, take real ownership, and grow into the future of the firm. The firm A referral only CPA firm with a strong reputation in Fort Myers. Small by design. Stable. Low turnover. No internal politics. The kind of place where people stay for years because it makes sense to. Built carefully over time. Now at the point where they need a senior tax leader to share the load and shape what comes next. The role You'll be operating at a true Senior Manager level from day one. Owning complex work Signing off on quality Managing client relationships end to end Leading people without drama The work mix is strong and well balanced: High volume of 1040s, generally straightforward Around 270 trusts and estates, with a strategic focus on growing this area Over 260 small business clients across a wide range of industries Business revenues from roughly $300k up to $14m This is not a compliance factory. This is a firm where judgement matters and where partners still care about doing things properly. Why they are hiring Right now, the partners are signing off on everything that leaves the office. One partner is stepping back significantly. There is no internal successor ready to take over. They need someone who can step in, take responsibility, reduce pressure, and over time take on a meaningful part of the firm. Who this suits Public accounting background, ideally within a similar sized CPA firm Someone who wants ownership and accountability, not just a title Strong technically, but equally confident with clients and people Someone who values stability, long term relationships, and building something meaningful How the firm works This is a grown up environment.
