If you get reached out from a family business tax office on linkedin and their salary range is high but there is minimal information available on google, is this normal for small family office? Trying to see if this is even legit?

I would assume most family offices are very private and would assume you are not going to find anything on Google

Family offices are small and thus won't have a huge online presence. The most you can check are any llc in the state

Minimal info? Yeah, they could also be high security and *can't* give out much info. Check what is there, make sure their number matches, check google maps, look up their business history on government sites to check their public documents and any name changes. If there was NO info I'd be suspicious.

Normal. Likely legit. Keep your guard up

Why not respond? Won't that answer your questions pretty quickly? Is it because you don't want anyone to know or think you're looking? Genuinely curious, I don't know a lot about what's discoverable on LinkedIn.

8-9 hours a day in the office 5 days a week. Some evenings/Saturdays when needed, but this is the exception. 8 CPAs and 4 other staff across Family Office accounting and tax. Many others at the operating businesses owned by the family, some of which share office space with us. Family Office personnel also includes investment, legal, and operations. Family Office personnel is about 40 total, not counting co-located OpCo colleagues.

I think I got the same email but I not sure if it came from LinkedIn or indeed. I held off responding as I wasn’t sure also.

Nah, this is different
