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
