What’s a reasonable amount to spend on an accountant’s services for your first year of freelance? I find all the ones I’ve been recommended want to charge me between 4-8k per year for their service. Is that normal or seems high?

I care for him a lot. However, i have tried both calm and aggressive tones during quarrels, but it also didn't help.

Not sure if anyone is gonna be down for this but i know of a writing gig with a rate of $60-$80/hr. It’s mainly website copy for a web3 company so it could be good to get that experience. DM if you’re interested.

Freelance social media managers: how to you charge for your services? What deliverables are included? What’s your rate?

Friendly reminder folks- don’t work for Havas Health and You. They cut the freelancers hourly rates, again and made it so there’s no OT. The resource manager at HOV said if I couldn’t swing $80 an hour as an HCP copywriter, she’d have to find someone else. Good luck 👍🏻

Small agency without brand guidelines.

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?

Recently got a contract job at Facebook NY.
