About
Us
Partner
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.
