Hello all,
Hope everyone is well. Today I am posting a rather peculiar question for the A71 community. About a month ago, a former Big 8 auditor (Arthur Anderson) approached me via LinkedIn. He inquired if I was interested in opportunities. He is seeking to fill a FT Accountant role in his practice. I looked over the job description, and I checked off all the boxes he is seeking in a candidate. However, the job description mention that no benefits are offered (i.e., health, retirement, etc.). I kindly told him I would pass on this opportunity due to NO benefits. Today, a month later, his secretary reached out again with an amended job description, and now the role is offering full fringe benefits. Additionally, the salary would be $1.2k lower than what I am making now. In addition, the commute will be 30 minutes longer than what I currently travel for work.
He owns a boutique bookkeeping and tax practice. Just himself, a junior accountant, a secretary and business office manager. All that being said, what are your views about working for such a small owner? Could he cut these benefits at any time to save on overhead? I am mostly concerned about the health insurance he is offering, it could be a low-end HMO, which suck. I currently have a PPO that is good.
