Description

Market Leader

Compensation: Starting $150,000 (Based on Relevant Experience)

West Des Moines, IO

Hybrid flexibility

Lead the Market. Build the Business. Own the Outcome.

At Haga Kommer, we believe the best leaders don’t simply manage an office. They build people, strengthen client relationships, improve the business, and create opportunities for growth.

HK offers a unique opportunity to be part of an integrated financial ecosystem. Our professionals work across CPA/accounting, banking, wealth management, insurance, and legal services, creating broader client solutions and career opportunities than a traditional standalone accounting firm.

We’re looking for a Market Leader who can take ownership of the overall health and growth of a local market. This is not a traditional technical leadership position, and we are intentionally looking beyond one specific accounting background. The right person may come from public accounting, private industry, CAS, outsourced CFO/controller services, audit, tax, or another financial leadership environment.

What matters most is the ability to lead people, build relationships, understand the numbers, improve operations, and grow a business.

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience leading people and creating accountability
• Strong business and financial acumen
• Experience managing revenue, profitability, budgets, financial performance, or a P&L
• Ability to understand the operational and financial drivers of a business
• Confidence building relationships with business owners, executives, clients, and community partners
• Demonstrated ability to identify and pursue business-development opportunities
• Strong client-service mindset with the ability to retain and expand relationships
• Operational mindset — someone who looks for ways to improve how work gets done rather than simply maintaining existing processes
• Strong communication, judgment, organization, and decision-making skills
• Ability to navigate performance conversations and make difficult decisions when necessary
• Entrepreneurial mindset and genuine ownership mentality
• Desire to lead a market while remaining connected to meaningful client work

Why Haga Kommer?

Own something. Build your career. Work across something bigger. Have a life. Help shape what’s next.

Our culture is grounded in Competence, Character, Teamwork, Openness to Change, and Kindness.

We empower you to: Build relationships. Grow as a leader. Share in what you help build.

OWNERSHIP & WEALTH: Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)

We're building Haga Kommer for the long term, and we believe the people helping build our future should have the opportunity to benefit from its success.

Haga Kommer is working toward an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), creating a path for employees to share in the value they help create.

INNOVATION: A Modern Approach

We're embracing AI and modern technology to reduce repetitive work, improve research and analysis, and create more time for the work that matters most…solving problems, advising clients, and building relationships.

You’ll have the opportunity to work with evolving technology and help shape how innovation is applied within the firm. HK encourages employees to rethink traditional processes, improve how work gets done, and participate in building the future of the firm.

REAL CAREER GROWTH: Create Your Path

You shouldn't have to leave a firm to keep growing.

At Haga Kommer, employees aren't locked into one traditional career path. Strong performers have the opportunity to take ownership of larger client relationships, work on increasingly complex engagements, mentor others, and move into leadership as they're ready.

For someone who wants to become a future manager or leader within the firm, this role can provide meaningful exposure and a path to get there.

You’ll join a growing organization where you can have a voice and help shape both your career and the future of the practice.

How do we support that?

• Continuing education and certification reimbursement
• Leadership academy and development training
• Increasing client ownership and advisory exposure
• Opportunities to mentor and develop others

LIVE WELL: Work-Life Harmony

Build a meaningful career without missing the life you're building it for.

We recognize that work and life naturally weave together. Professional success shouldn't require sacrificing the relationships, experiences, and quality of life that matter most.

We work hard, take exceptional care of our clients, and believe our people should still have space to be present for life outside of work.

HK employees are supported by a culture focused on sustainable performance rather than constant burnout.

How do we support that?

• Hybrid flexibility
• Summer Hours
• Generous PTO with eligibility for flexible/unlimited PTO
• Volunteer paid time off
• Paid parental leave
• Medical, dental, vision, disability, AD&D, and life insurance
• 401(k) with 3% Safe Harbor contribution
