About Us

 

If you're a freelance interpreter, you've worked extremely hard to get where you are today in your career

​

You're the person who is constantly working to improve your skills to better serve the community:

 

  • You're taking workshops and attending conferences to maintain (or work towards) your certification(s).

​

  • You're busy building a freelance work schedule that both provides for your life financially and consists of assignments that are good fit for your skillset. 

​

  • You're working for multiple agencies and accommodating various billing policies and invoicing preferences.

​

  • You're actively debriefing with teams and prepping for upcoming assignments to ensure you put your best foot forward professionally each day.​​

​

You are always on the move.

​

​

But being a freelance interpreter gets harder as time goes on

​

  • All of a sudden, your income starts to increase and you find yourself paying a large amount of taxes each year. You may even find yourself inspired to expand your income sources (through forming an interpreting agency, investing or starting a new side business).

​

  • It becomes increasingly difficult to keep up with paying quarterly estimated taxes and tracking freelance income and expenses year-round.

​

  • Tax season becomes an annual source of stress as you spend hours trying to figure out what exactly you need to report, whether you are missing potential deductions, and whether it's being done correctly. And when you look for help, you're not sure if the answers apply to the interpreting field.

​

  • You start to have more complex tax planning and business questions, but the information you are finding (either online or from general tax professionals) doesn't quite seem like it makes sense for interpreters.

​

​
