Business
Freelancing can be a very lonely business. Not just in terms of physical isolation, but also in the way of getting help to run your day-to-day operations.Most of us don't have staff to take care of business operations and administration. Or a CFO and legal team to deal with finances, payroll and regulatory hassles. Or an IT director to manage our tech infrastructure. We're expected to do it all. And that can be exhausting!That's where a company like MBO Partners can help. MBO Partners combines a proprietary system to handle tax, expense, benefit, and payment and contract management for freelancers and independent professionals.This is a new breed of business that's supporting the rapidly growing freelance economy. And in this interview, I talk with MBO Partners' president and CEO Gene Zaino about this missing piece in the freelance community—and how MBO Partners is filling this critical gap and giving many independent workers a true competitive edge.
