CPA Tax Partner

Kelemen & Stephens, PLLC

Job Description

Job Description

CPA Partner w/Owner Track

Fredericksburg, VA

Build Your Legacy. Lead Client Relationships. Shape the Future of the Firm.

Kelemen & Stephens, PLLC is seeking an experienced CPA who is ready for the next step in their career—not just another accounting position. This is a unique opportunity for a seasoned public accounting professional to join a respected Virginia CPA firm with a clear path toward ownership and long-term leadership.

We're looking for a relationship-driven CPA who enjoys advising clients, mentoring team members, and contributing to the growth of a successful practice. The ideal candidate is someone who wants to build something lasting and play a meaningful role in the future of the firm.

What You'll Do

  • Serve as a trusted advisor to business owners, executives, and individual clients
  • Review and oversee complex individual, corporate, partnership, non-profit, and trust tax returns
  • Provide strategic tax planning and business consulting services
  • Lead client engagements and maintain strong long-term relationships
  • Mentor and develop accounting staff
  • Help drive firm growth through client retention, referrals, and business development
  • Participate in operational and strategic planning initiatives
  • Collaborate with firm leadership on succession planning and future ownership opportunities

What We're Looking For

  • Active CPA license required
  • 10-15+ years of public accounting experience
  • Strong expertise in tax planning, compliance, and client advisory services
  • Experience managing client relationships and reviewing tax engagements
  • Leadership experience supervising and developing staff
  • Excellent communication and business development skills
  • Desire to pursue a future ownership opportunity
  • Entrepreneurial mindset with a long-term commitment to client service

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Clear path to ownership
  • Established and loyal client base
  • Opportunity to influence firm strategy and growth
  • Flexible work environment
  • Strong work-life balance compared to larger public accounting firms
  • Ability to make a lasting impact on clients, staff, and the future of the practice

Ideal Backgrounds

We would love to speak with:

  • Tax Managers
  • Senior Tax Managers
  • Tax Directors
  • Senior Accountants ready for a leadership role
  • CPAs currently with regional or local public accounting firms seeking a partnership opportunity
