If this is client direct, not via agency, I’d charge a project fee (ie flat rate). Clients just want to know how much a job will cost, they don’t work in hours scoping like agencies do.

Start by forecasting how many hours you think it’ll take you. Round up if you’re not sure. Then add a couple more, in case you find you need more time. Then a couple more for client review and 1-2 rounds of edits (as specified by your scope). Times that by your hourly rate, round up again to make it a clean number and you’ve got your project fee!

You should also be asking if they have a budget range in mind for the job. Sometimes you’ll be surprised that their range is 10x what you’d ever thought of putting to them, or perhaps 10x less and pitching the work would be a waste of both your time.

UPDATE (RE: SoCal Assistant Controller Interview)

So after two weeks of waiting (and giving up on the idea of getting the job really), the recruiter got back to me.

They said due to month-end and quarter-end close they were busy and couldn’t get back to me as quickly for a “good update”.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.

Not sure if Im hired or not, but are there any questions about the job, comp (cont.)
