Bootcamp is owned and operated by MFA Group Inc, founded
by Canada's leading consultant to public accounting
firms, Steve McIntyre-Smith.
Steve
has a 25 year history with the public accounting profession.
His career started in the UK in 1980 when he joined
a small 2 partner firm as a trainee, qualifying in 1983.
With his designation in hand, he then joined a national
firm of CAs.
When
his previous 'report-to' left that national firm to
establish his own practice, Steve was approached a year
later to join him and open a second office. He did,
and Steve quickly became a partner in that firm.
After
the sale of that practice in 1989, Steve enjoyed a period
as a sole practitioner before crossing over to consulting
to CA firms in 1992.
He
came to live in Canada in 1998 and quickly learned the
recruiting business in the GTA, first as Director of
Business Development with a long-established boutique
firm who specialize in recruiting CAs for industry,
at Queen and Bay in downtown Toronto, and then as Vice
President of a national executive search firm, as head
of the accounting & finance practice.
Steve
walked away from the 'rat race' to establish his own
'boutique' practice, MFA Group Inc, serving only public
accounting firms, in May 2003, and is already acknowledged
by many as THE leading expert in public accounting growth,
recruiting, mergers and acquisitions.
Steve
is a member of the faculty of the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of Ontario, a member of Mensa (the high
IQ society) and the Institute of Direct Marketing. He
is also an award-winning marketer for accounting firms,
a sought-after public speaker and the author of several
best-selling eBooks for public accounting firms.
His
first 'real' book (as opposed to an e-book) came out
in 2005, published by the Canadian Institute of Chartered
Accountants, called 'The Succession Planning Toolkit'.
Steve
is also a resident columnist for Canada's leading Accounting
Newspaper, 'The Bottom Line'.
His
consulting work takes him literally around the world
(for example: in September 2004 he spoke at a number
of seminars for the Institute of Chartered Accountants
of Bangladesh, and has spoken to many groups of CPAs
in the USA, and numerous CA firms across the UK and
Canada).
His
'down-to-earth', approachable manner is often stated
as a breath of fresh air by many who entrust their recruiting,
M & A, marketing or coaching and other projects
to him and his staff.
