Depending on your lens, it could be neither (e.g., intellectual property or tech).

Depends on what type of projects you work on - you could be working on GAAP heavy litigated matters (accounting), or damages and valuation cases (finance and accounting). Some could be none, like BSA/AML compliance.

It's a legal job for non-lawyers

I work in this space, heavy accounting but no CPA required. My team is very supportive on the learning of the nuances

It really depends on what projects you’ve worked on. I know people who have made a career in forensics doing mostly forensic audits and restatements, which is about as accounting heavy as you can get. I also know people who live inside of DCFs and who seem to know more finance than the people in the finance departments of their clients. So the short answer is: your mileage may vary

I’ve been a freelance print production designer for many years, and usually on-site in the before times. Now I work remote, and am finding it uneasy dealing with billing. Before I always billed hourly, which made sense, but it’s becoming an issue now. Some companies don’t have a full days’ work, so it seems wrong to bill full days, and it allows me to juggle projects for different companies, but my billable hours are down. I know I should bill a daily rate, but not sure that will fly. Thoughts?
