Let me guess, the hours are relentless, the culture feels more “pressure” than “support,” and that whole “work-life balance” promise turned out to be more of a myth than a reality.
Maybe this isn’t the first time you’ve been here. Maybe you’ve joined firms that said they offered flexibility and a people-first environment… only to find yourself buried in hours every busy season. Or maybe you thought a smaller firm would mean a better balance and then they got acquired, and suddenly everything changed.
I completely get why you might be thinking about leaving public altogether, especially if you still enjoy tax but just can’t keep putting your life on hold for it.
But before you make the jump to private, I’d love you to hear about this one firm just outside Philly because it might actually be what you were hoping public accounting could be all along.
They’re mid-sized, independent, and genuinely people focused.
They don’t just say the right things, they follow through. Things like:
35-hour weeks outside of busy season
Friday afternoons off all summer
Five weeks of PTO
100% employer paid healthcare
Hybrid or remote options (whatever works best for you)
Free parking, 401(k) match, and zero risk of getting swallowed by a merger
The team is supportive, grounded, and just... decent. They care about the people they work with. You’ll get exposure to a real mix of clients from construction, real estate, nonprofits, and retail, so the work stays interesting. And whether you’re aiming for Partner or just want a stable leadership role without the politics, they’ll back you with the tools and support to get there.
A bit about the role:
You’d be leading a solid team of tax professionals, handling complex compliance and planning across partnerships, S Corps, trusts, estates (the good stuff!) You’d be a key advisor to your clients, helping them navigate planning, audits, risk, and also playing a part in shaping the firm’s strategy.
What they’re looking for:
CPA with 10+ years in public
Someone who leads well, communicates clearly, and genuinely enjoys the work
Someone who values client service and having a life outside of work
If you’re seriously thinking about leaving public, I get it. But maybe just have the chat first? No pressure, no hard sell. Just a genuine conversation to see if this could be a better fit.
Hit apply if you want to take the next step — or if you’d rather just chat first, find me on LinkedIn (Bethan Kirby). Even if this one’s not quite right, I work with a few firms that might be more your style.
Let’s see if we can find something that actually works for you this time.
