Build Your Career. Have a Voice. Become a Partner.

Are you an experienced CPA who has reached the point where you want more than a title and a paycheque? Maybe you've been with your current firm for years, you're doing the work of a senior leader, but there isn't a clear path forward. Maybe you're ready to have a greater say in how a firm operates, build client relationships, mentor a team, and ultimately have an ownership stake in the business. Sound CPA is offering something different.

We are a growing, independent CPA firm in Grey Bruce looking for an experienced CPA / Senior Manager who wants to play a significant role in the future of the firm, with a explicit path to partnership within one year. The Opportunity

This isn't a position where you'll simply inherit a portfolio and be told how things have always been done.

We are looking for someone who wants to help shape the next chapter of Sound CPA.

You will have the opportunity to:

Take a leadership role in the firm's operations and strategic direction

Have a meaningful voice in how the firm is run

Help develop and implement new processes, technology and service offerings

Build and manage robust client relationships

Mentor and develop our accounting team

Participate in hiring, performance management and team development

Help identify opportunities for growth and improve firm profitability

Develop your own client base and areas of specialization

Work directly with the partners on major business decisions

Progress toward partnership within approximately 12 months, subject to mutual fit and agreed-upon terms

Compensation

Base Salary: $115,000 – $125,000

In addition to competitive compensation, the successful candidate will have the opportunity to transition into firm ownership within one year,



creating the potential for long-term financial upside through partnership rather than simply continuing to trade time for salary. We are prepared to have an open conversation about what partnership could look like, including responsibilities, ownership structure and buy-in. We believe a small firm can provide something larger firms often can't: a genuine opportunity to make a difference.

At Sound CPA, you won't be one of dozens of managers competing for the next promotion.

You'll have the opportunity to work directly with the partners, influence decisions and see your ideas implemented. If you have ever thought:

"I know how I would run this differently if I had the opportunity." We want to hear from you. Who We're Looking For

We are looking for an experienced CPA who is:

A designated CPA in good standing

Experienced in public accounting

Comfortable managing a diverse portfolio of corporate and personal clients

Confident communicating directly with business owners and professionals A strong technical accountant with sound professional judgment

Interested in leadership and developing people

Entrepreneurial and commercially minded

Comfortable taking ownership and making decisions

Looking for a long-term career rather than simply another job

We would particularly like to hear from someone who feels there is limited room for growth in their current firm and is ready for the next stage of their career.
