You can be a signing director at BDO which is effectively that. Zero up side to this other than no capital at risk. Comp is not much higher than an SM or regular director but have to deal with all sorts of additional nonsense.

BDO has fixed share partners. Yes you need to put some Capital in each year but it’s effectively a high yield savings account for you. Otherwise compensation is fixed as a guaranteed payment with any bonus being discretionary. No votes on matters such as board of directors. There’s still the pressure to sell sell sell

This is really good to know. Thank you for sharing.

Most firms have them in the sense that there are levels that can sign off on smaller work or support larger engagements in that role.

Benefits are usually in line with other employees with a fairly high salary.
