About Us
At For Purpose Law Group (FPLG), we exist to provide specialized counsel nonprofits need to thrive. We work with purpose-driven leaders across the country to strengthen their organizations through expert legal, financial, and operational guidance.
Our Accounting & Tax team ensures nonprofits stay financially strong and compliant with confidence. We’re growing — and we’re looking for a CPA who’s ready to step into a leadership role and help us scale this practice nationally.
About the Role
We’re hiring a Managing Director (CPA) to lead our Accounting & Tax business line. This is a player-coach role: you’ll manage your own portfolio of nonprofit clients while also building the systems, team, and processes that will fuel growth.
This is an opportunity to:
- Lead a business line with full P&L responsibility.
- Deliver expert nonprofit accounting and compliance services.
- Build a scalable practice alongside a mission-driven legal team.
- Help shape the future of a national platform serving nonprofit organizations.
- Manage and grow a portfolio of nonprofit accounting clients.
- Deliver accurate, timely compliance (Forms 990, 990-EZ, 990-PF, etc.).
- Mentor and lead a small team (Accountant + Services Manager).
- Implement systems and processes to support scale.
- Partner with FPLG attorneys to cross-sell and integrate services.
- Represent FPLG as a thought leader in nonprofit accounting and compliance.
Requirements:
- CPA license (required).
- 7+ years’ experience in nonprofit accounting, auditing, or tax compliance.
- Prior leadership/management experience.
- Strong knowledge of IRS nonprofit regulations.
- Entrepreneurial mindset — excited to grow, not just maintain.
- Strong communication skills with the ability to explain complex financial matters to non-financial leaders.
Why Join FPLG?
- Mission-driven: use your expertise to strengthen organizations that make the world better.
- Leadership: own and scale a business line with national growth potential.
- Collaboration: partner with attorneys and advisors who share your passion for nonprofits.
- Competitive compensation: $110k–$130k base salary + bonus opportunities, plus benefits.
