About Us
Smith Leonard is a growth-minded, regional CPA firm with offices in High Point, Hickory, Winston-Salem, and Lexington, NC. We've discovered that public accounting is not a one-size fits all proposition. Different firms offer varying experiences, culture and work environment. Smith Leonard is proud to be a firm that offers an approachable, yet professional culture with great work/life balance, including remote or virtual options and 1/2 day Fridays in the summer. We are consistently rated one of the "Best Firms to Work For" by Accounting Today in their annual employee survey and are one of their 2023 Top Regional Firms. Our team is empowered and energized by the autonomy of local decision-making and community impact, but our affiliation as a BDO Alliance firm gives us access to scalability and far superior technical resources than you would expect from a firm that can also provide top-notch local customer service. Our daily work benefits include flexible schedules and dress for your day every day. We offer a casual, approachable environment for our team while delivering professional-level service to our clients and community.
Smith Leonard offers a competitive compensation and benefits package, an excellent learning environment, and an appreciation for work-life balance.

Smith Leonard believes happy employees make happy clients, which is why we are so proud of the team we've built together.
