Many firms turn away work during tax season or fall behind on projects simply because they don’t have enough staff. But there’s a better solution: hire freelance accountants.
On February 17, 2020, Jeff Phillips, CEO of Accountingfly, led a webinar teaching firm partners how to tap into the freelance talent pool to fill short-term needs, reduce staff burnout, and increase firm capacity—without making a permanent hire.
With 25% of the U.S. workforce now operating as freelancers, there’s never been a better time to embrace flexible staffing models in your accounting firm.
Why Hire Freelance Accountants?
Freelancers can help you:
-
Deliver specific projects on tight timelines
-
Support your team during seasonal workloads like tax season
-
Fill in for employees on leave or during unexpected surges
-
Add specialized expertise without the long-term commitment
Hiring freelance accountants gives you the agility to scale up or down based on real-time workload—keeping your firm competitive and profitable.
