About Us

Our mission is to develop relationship-driven professionals who deliver an exceptional client experience and collaborate with each other, in a fun and rewarding environment.  


Smith Leonard is a growth-minded, regional CPA firm with offices in High Point, Winston-Salem, Hickory, 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/hybrid options and 1/2 day Fridays in the summer (a 36 hour work week). We are consistently rated one of the “Best Firms to Work For” by Accounting Today in their annual employee survey and are a top ten Mid-Sized firm nationwide. We have also received further distinction in 2024 as one of the "Best Firms for Young Accountants" nationwide. 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” (blue jeans!) 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. The benefits package includes health insurance (one option is 100% employer paid!), dental, vision, disability, life insurance, a corporate wellness program offering free health coaching and monthly lunch and learns, holiday and PTO pay, Thank You Days, Paid Parental Leave, Annual Day of Service (company Volunteer Day), and 401K with a generous company contribution.
