I just wrapped up a busy season for a calendar-year client and am currently staffed on a second busy season for a 3/31 filer that will run through Memorial Day. If I receive an FDD offer next week, would it be possible to delay the start date until 6/1?

Possibly but don't. If you get a better offer leave ASAP

Thank you!

I would only be concerned about delaying if you think you’ll come back to your current firm. If not, then just leave whenever and they’ll figure it out

like

If it’s at another firm, don’t delay just take it. Your audit team will figure things out and you should not feel bad about chasing what’s best for you. If it’s at your same firm, I would imagine the audit and FDD partners have discussed your transition timeline already.

Thank you!

Just accept the offer and provide your respective notice period. You're not the first person to leave that firm and won't be the last. At worst it's a minor inconvenience to restaff the work on most occasions.

What? Take it and run now
