Executive Opportunities

Make an Impact as a Leader in the Accounting Industry

At a certain point in a public accounting leader’s career, the question shifts from “What’s my next title?” to “Where can I make a meaningful impact?” For partners, managing directors and senior executives, Cohen & Co offers a different kind of leadership opportunity — one built for meaning, not hierarchy.

A Different Kind of Accounting Firm Leadership Model

Unlike many large or global accounting firms where leadership decisions move through multiple layers of governance, our firm operates with a structure that keeps decision-making close to clients, teams and market realities. At our firm, strategy is shaped by the leaders responsible for delivering results.

For experienced accounting professionals seeking a more direct role in firm strategy, client growth and practice development, this means your impact is visible, measurable and immediate.

Growth Minus Bureaucracy

Our firm has achieved consistent double-digit, year-over-year growth while maintaining the agility of a mid-market accounting firm. Our size allows us to compete effectively while remaining nimble enough to adjust strategy as industries, regulations and client needs evolve.

Leaders joining Cohen & Co step into momentum, helping redirect or accelerate investment and growth initiatives without the delays often found in larger firm environments.

How Our Partnership and Equity Structure Works

For many senior professionals evaluating an accounting firm partner opportunity, clarity around partnership structure, equity and advancement is essential. Our equity model is transparent, performance-based and designed to reward real contribution, not simply tenure.

Our leaders understand:

• How the accounting firm partnership track functions
• How equity participation is structured
• How value creation and performance are measured
• What advancement requires at each stage

Clear expectations replace hidden rules, and open dialogue replaces uncertainty. This alignment builds trust and long-term commitment among our firm’s leadership and has for the past 45-plus years.

Why Senior Leaders from Larger Firms Make the Move

Executives from national and global firms often come to us seeking:

• Greater influence over firm strategy
• More entrepreneurial flexibility
• A clearer path to equity participation
• Closer connection to clients and teams

Our model provides the platform to lead authentically while still operating within a respected, growth-oriented public accounting firm with a strong reputation in the market.

A Platform to Lead, Grow and Matter

We truly believe we offer something increasingly rare in the accounting profession: the scale and credibility of an established firm combined with the accessibility, transparency and leadership opportunity of a growth-focused organization.

For partners and senior accounting leaders who want their decisions to shape their firm’s direction, not disappear into process, Cohen & Co is a place to lead, grow and make a lasting impact.
