I know my client needs an Accounting Manager. I know this because they’re startup med device company that has their books in complete shambles. The current accounting team isn’t very strong. How do I let the client know that I would be interested in joining them? They’re not actively recruiting for any position but I know they’d benefit from it. Serious responses only :)

Make sure you’re really comfortable doing that before moving forward. My firm’s independence guidelines required immediate notification to the engagement leader if there were any employment discussions being had with an audit client. And depending on the relationship you have with the client, they could take offense, causing the relationship to be strained and possibly requiring you to rotate off the job. Then you’re stuck with the firm knowing you’re looking for other opportunities. There’s not a whole lot of upside unless you know it’s a slam dunk and you’re ready to get out of public.

Yup, it’s part of the Independence Standard No.3. 2.a

However... if you go for it, and go for the equity baby 💴 💰 💵!!!!
