Yes but non audit. It was simple in that case. More hoops to jump through for audit client but many still do…

No I have not

I have not, but some colleagues have. It depends on the PA firm. Some firms will charge the client a fee.

They gotta make money somehow since they seem to be struggling everywhere else

I've not, but tons of people I used to work with have. I feel like its super common. (Top 10 firm.) The most important thing to be aware of is that you cannot be engaged in any employment discussions with a client while their audit is going on. You'd either have to wait until it was issued or notify the partner and remove yourself from the team.

This is helpful thank you. They are an SEC indep client but not public. I feel like it must be common but haven’t heard of anyone in my office doing it.
