The BBC reported last week that 49% of workers in the UK would leave their jobs if it meant working for someone that didn’t make bad decisions.
As we’ve noted, the Brits seem to be less hung up on money than us but that still doesn’t mean you wouldn’t leave for less money if you could get away from that boss who can fuck up a cup of coffee not to mention every decision that affects your work directly.
So we have a simple question for you. Under normal circumstances, would you leave your high paying job if it meant you didn’t have to work for an idiot boss?

Medical Marijuana, Inc. who, “is the first public company to recognize the vast and unequaled opportunities that exist in the rapidly expanding medical marijuana industry,” wants to get listed on the OTC Bulletin Board in order to demonstrate it’s desire to become a fully transparent corporation.
The company now needs a PCAOB-registered CPA firm to audit its books, preferably one that’s cool with a little Maui Waui prior to lunch.
More, after the jump
Our thought is that the Big 4 are way too prudish to take on such a progressive client. We’d go so far to say that not even Grant Thornton or BDO Seidman would touch this one. That being said, we’re sure there are a few partners out there that have grow houses that rival anything in High Times.
If you’re sure your partner is a regular Willie Nelson when it comes to kush maybe throw this post their way. In the meantime, feel free to handicap the odds of your respective firm picking this client up. We’d give the edge to any firm from the Santa Cruz area.

The good folks at Accounting Principals (they’re your pals) and Parker & Lynch put out their salary guide for 2010 last week and we managed to pour through the thing as superficially as possible.
With that in mind we present to you the top five average base salaries at various levels as presented by the guide:
Accountants and Financial Personnel
• Senior Budget Analyst – $75,200
• Tax Accountant – $74,000
• Senior Financial Analyst – $72,900
• Senior Treasury Analyst – $72,400
• Senior Internal Auditor – $72,300
Supervisor
• Financial Reporting Supervisor – $80,400
• Tax Supervisor – $77,800
• Budgeting Supervisor – $77,300
• Auditing Supervisor – $73,600
• Cost Accounting Supervisor – $71,900
Mid-Level Managers
• Audit Manager – $109,300
• Tax Manager – $105,400
• Sarbanes Oxley Manager – $99,800
• Financial Analysis Manager – $99,500
• Financial Reporting Manager – $95,700
Executive and Senior Managers
• CFO – $329,600
• Finance Director – $210,600
• Treasurer – $183,900
• Top Audit Executive – $179,200
• Controller – $175,500
It’s pretty clear that the first big jump is at the manager level and then we see another even bigger jump at the executive/senior manager level. The guide doesn’t appear to include partner salary data which as it has been discussed, varies widely.
For anyone that’s looking for a job based primarily on salary (you know who you are), these positions may be the ones to look at first.
