How to do you Segway into getting accounting clients that are for example movie stars, rappers, athletes, etc…? Anybody have experience with this? Wonder if it’s fun to be the personal accountant to this clientele type.

I don’t think it’s as fun as you think. It’s not like those clients are just going to fly their accountants on private jets or yachts. Most likely, their assistant just dumps a load of papers for you to figure out and the client stiffs you. alot of those celebrities are known to be cheap and just not pay for their services. Stick to big 4 and collect that steady paycheck

Also these celebrities often use firms to their taxes. I don’t think most HNW individuals really go the individual route nowadays.

You probably would want to get into wealth management and not really accounting for these types.

From experience, years ago, it’s pretty interesting. I worked for a small business who managed some big names in the industry and still does. You have access to their accounts and they tend to run most purchases, especially major ones, by you. You are able to guide them on making sound purchases and direct their money to the right things. They actually had a great relationship with the owner and did invite her and the team to events.

So you want to wipe the butts of the rich and famous?

Just send it offshore
