Yes. I’m in FDD. Manager and above only.

Could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure your only choice is to do FDD at a non-CPA/attestation firm. Think firms like A&M, FTI, and BRG amongst others.

Edit: by only choice, I mean if you’re too concerned over your holdings, you’re better off working elsewhere. Pretty sure any CPA firm will have stock restrictions regardless of service line (although restrictions do work on a sliding scale)
