      7 Things to Know Before Starting a Freelance Accounting Business

      The gig economy's growth is hard to miss, with the recent economic disruption and remote working propelling more of its growth in the last two years. This, plus the freedom of choosing when, where and with whom to work with, is leading to an increase in the number of professionals choosing the freelance route.  

      The sector has grown in the US, with about 59 million Americans working freelance. The number is expected to grow to 86.5 million freelancers by 2028. Additionally, this sector is estimated to grow by 6% in the next decade, creating more accounting opportunities.  

      Of course, accounting is one of the leading industries regarding the increase of freelancers. If you are considering starting a freelance accounting business, perhaps it is the right time to set your plan in motion.
