WFFA is a member firm of Windsor Path, a family office-backed platform partnering with established accounting and advisory firms across the country.

The Opportunity

This is a newly created Partner seat at WFFA with a clear runway to take on a meaningful book of business, lead client engagements end to end, and grow into expanded responsibility within the firm over time.

• Direct relationship ownership across a portfolio of high-net-worth individuals, closely held businesses, real estate clients, trusts, estates, and private foundations
• Identification and execution of cross-sell and advisory expansion opportunities within the portfolio
• Leadership of the engagement teams supporting your work, including review, coaching, and performance feedback
• Participation in staff reviews and team development
• Optional business development activity, which is the primary lever toward equity partnership

Expectations

• Annual billable hour target in line with firm standards for partners not actively engaged in business development
• In office presence expected with greater frequency during the initial onboarding period, easing into a more flexible cadence over time
• Occasional local client travel; no out-of-town travel expected
• Active participation in the partner group and willingness to grow into broader firm leadership over time

What We Are Looking For

• CPA license required
• 10 or more years of progressive experience in public accounting
• Deep technical experience with closely held business taxation and real estate
• Comfortable as a true generalist, with strong fundamentals across tax compliance, accounting, and client advisory
• A hands‑on operator who is comfortable being in the work, not just over it
• Track record of building and holding client trust as a primary relationship owner
• Interest in growing a book through cross-sell and, for those pursuing equity, new business development
• Alignment with a firm culture that values direct client relationships, responsiveness, and partner-level ownership

Compensation

Competitive base salary, discretionary annual bonus tied to firm and individual performance, and benefits plan. Specific compensation details will be discussed directly with qualified candidates.
