For those in public accounting in North America, you really have to have been living on another planet not to know his name these days...

Steve McIntyre-Smith is...

• Resident columnist for the accounting & finance newspaper, 'The Bottom Line',
• Award-winning contributor to CA Magazine,
• Leader of numerous PD courses across Canada for the Institute of Chartered Accountants,
• Author of the CICAs 'Succession Planning Toolkit' for practitioners,
• Founder of MFA Group Inc, a boutique consulting company that only works with public accounting firms.


Steve is a highly sought after speaker, author and consultant on 'all things public accounting'. His PD courses draw rave reviews and he is one of the highest rated Institute speakers with constant delegate assessment scores around 98%.

He has 28 years experience working in and with the public accounting profession around the world.

Steve joined the public accounting profession in the UK as a raw junior with a small firm in 1980, and after qualifying in 1983, he joined a national firm -- where he spent 2 years - before his old boss asked him to join him in business where, together, they built a firm from scratch to four offices and sixty staff in just five years.

After the sale of that firm, in 1990, he had a further two years as a sole practitioner before selling that practice, when he then switched over to advising accounting firms on marketing and strategic planning issues in 1992.

Since then he has developed a reputation around the world as one of the leading consultants to the public accounting profession on a wide variety of issues.

Steve came to Canada in 1998 and spent some time in the recruiting business on Bay Street (Toronto) before launching his own consulting firm in Canada, to exclusively serve the public accounting profession.

His company works with accounting firms one-on-one to help them in many areas including:

• Exit Strategies, Mergers & Acquisitions
• Recruiting of Professional Staff & Future Partners
• Coaching of Senior Staff & Partners in Selling Skills
• Partner Retreats & Strategic Planning Sessions
• Marketing & Practice Development Initiatives
• Monthly Coaching and Performance Monitoring Sessions For Partners
