When we talk about remote workers, freelancers, and contractors, we're essentially discussing the various ways in which individuals can contribute to a business, regardless of where they're located or the lifestyle they choose. It's essential to grasp these differences to make informed decisions about who to hire and how to structure your workforce effectively.
As you may know, remote work is on the rise, especially in the wake of the pandemic that forced many businesses to adapt to new ways of working. According to a recent report by Upwork, 36.2 million Americans will be working remotely by 2025, an 87% increase from pre-pandemic levels. This trend is also evident in the accounting industry, where firms are increasingly hiring remote workers to handle various tasks and functions.
But when we talk about a remote worker, freelancer, or contractor, we are not talking about the same thing. These are different modalities or relationships between a firm and the worker, regardless of the lifestyle they want (or can) lead.
To optimize your firm’s operations and leverage the best accounting talent available, it’s crucial to know exactly what you are aiming for and what is best for your business. This episode aims to shed light on these different roles, highlighting the benefits of hiring either contractors or freelancers and how partnering with an offshore accounting staffing agency can make everything easier.
