Managing Director

A well-capitalized private investment group is acquiring an established CPA firm in Northwest Montana and seeking a licensed Montana CPA to serve as Managing Director post-close.

This is a rare opportunity for an entrepreneurially minded CPA who wants real autonomy to run and grow a practice without the risk of buying one themselves. The firm has a strong recurring client base, consistent revenue growth year over year, and an existing owner who will remain through the transition to ensure a smooth handoff of client relationships.

What You’ll Do

  • Manage day to day operations of the firm post-close
  • Build and maintain client relationships through and beyond the ownership transition
  • Oversee tax preparation, consulting, and accounting services
  • Work alongside ownership on strategic growth initiatives

What We’re Looking For

  • Active Montana CPA license in good standing
  • Public accounting experience preferred
  • Entrepreneurially minded — you want ownership mentality, not just a job
  • Strong client relationship and communication skills
  • Someone who wants to build something, not just maintain it

What We’re Offering

  • Base salary $95-120K commensurate with experience
  • Performance bonus up to $30K based on revenue retention and growth
  • Total compensation potential $125-140K
  • Real autonomy to run the practice
  • Path to equity participation as the platform grows
  • Backing of an experienced acquisition group with capital and resources
