Why should I hire a fractional accountant instead of a full time accountant?
As a small business owner, hiring a full-time accountant can be costly, with total compensation often ranging from $90,000 to $150,000 per year when you include benefits and overhead. For many growing businesses, a fractional accountant offers a smarter, more flexible solution while giving you expert support without the full-time expense.
