About The Position

Crete Professionals Alliance (Crete PA), founded in June 2023, aims to drive growth across accounting and professional service firms in the United States. Their initial venture in August 2023 involved acquiring a majority interest in the non-attest assets of a top 300 US-based national firm, positioning them alongside the top 100 US accounting firms based on cumulative revenue. With over 30 member firms and substantial committed capital, Crete PA is poised to become equivalent to a top 20 firm in terms of aggregate revenue, with ambitions to expand into a multi-country platform. Supported by ZBS Partners, a firm managing over $500 million in assets, and led by co-founders experienced in developing multi-industry platforms, Crete PA partners with local firms to enhance their independence while boosting their revenue and profitability.
