Has anyone consistently done seasonal contracting work as a federal tax manager? I’ve only tried for the past year and there doesn’t seem to be a lot of need regularly. Is that what you all are seeing?

I would think if you did well then the firm would take you back for seasonal contracting again. Ultimately it’s cheaper for them as they don’t have to pay any benefits, etc. and beneficial to you since you work half the year for about the same annual pay (just no benefits, pto, etc).

I was considering being a seasonal contractor as the offer was $125 per hour + overtime so I’d make the same in 2 tax seasons as I would on an annualized basis. Only thing was that I have 2 young kids so the insurance offered was more valuable than having 6 months on and 6 months off.
