How Much Does a Freelance Tax Consultant Cost?

Determining the standard costs of a Freelance Tax Expert is very hard to assess as it depends on so many factors and circumstances. First of all, what you are willing to pay for it also highly depends on the reason why you need a freelance tax consultant, for how long and how soon should the work start? Furthermore, factors that affect the hourly rate charged by a freelance tax consultant include the region where the professional is located, the experience level, the type of clients or markets served and last but not least what kind of services provided which can be more standardized routine kind of work or highly specialized work.

For example, a tax return for a small business may be prepared for less than USD 10 per hour in India. On the other hand, if a multinational is being audited by the tax authorities in the Netherlands, the tax team of that company likely needs some extra hands, and it is very common that an interim tax manager, in that case charges, a daily rate ranging between EUR 1,000 and EUR 1,500 per day.

Via our online platform, you can search for your freelance tax consultant needed, and fine tune on key factors like region, specialization, hourly rate, experience level and types of clients served. When you have found your ideal candidate for the job to be done, you can directly get in touch via email or phone and start working, without any charges or interference from our platform. Find out how it works.

To get a general feeling about typical fees charged by freelance tax experts across the world you can also check out Robert Walters Annual Salary Survey. This survey gives very detailed insights about permanent, interim and contract placements across most of the professional services industry, including the tax industry , and differentiates on aspects like region, experience level, big firms or smaller ones and much more.

Not Sure Whether to Hire a Freelancer, Advisor or a Firm?

This is not a simple question to answer and depends on a lot of factors. First of all, it depends on your needs and the type of work to be done. Your available budget may play a role but should not be decisive because freelancers have a reputation to be relatively cheap while firms tend to be more expensive, but the same can apply vice versa. As for the quality of work, this fully depends on the freelancers and consultants/firms you hire. A freelancer may provide better quality work in half the time than a firm could do. But, again the same could be vice versa. Furthermore, each of these service providers come with their own pro's and con's.

A freelancer performs its work independently, selling work or services by the hour, day or job. Both parties involved have no intention to establish a long-term structural working relationship with each other. Often freelancers worked as a consultant for firms in their field of expertise, and at some point, in their career, they decided to do the same as they did but then via the freelancing route.

A tax consultant or a tax advisor is a person who is paid to provide professional or expert advice in a particular field or specialty, who is employed by a firm whose business is to provide these services via its consultants.

Professional service firms, like tax firms, operate in many different industries. They include accountants, lawyers, marketing professionals, consultants, and web developers among others. They can be any firm that offers customized, knowledge-based services to clients. When clients hire advisory firms, they generally do so because of that company's credibility and reputation.

It is common knowledge that a business is only as good as its people. So with that in mind, a good starting point is to try to find the best person for the job first, and this can be a freelancer, a particular employed consultant, or a firm that has specialized in the field you are looking for.

Finally, the good news is that you can search for all these types of experts on our platform (freelancers, consultants, and firms) and compare them on the criteria that are relevant for you. Find out how it works or what other knowledge assets our platform has to offer like Knowledge Sharing, Knowledge Sources , and Curated Content to stay up to date with the latest news and developments.

Independents in the Tax Industry

There is no strict definition of what an independent is in the professional services industry, including the tax industry. In general, Independents are independent firms that are owner operated, they tend to work in their own country only and the bigger the standalone business is, the more different types of services provided. Boutique firm or agency is also a commonly used name for these type of entrepreneurial businesses. They tend to provide highly specialized niche services, but they may very well also directly compete with the major international firms in their industry. Strictly speaking, freelancers also qualify as Independents.

It happens very often that experienced senior professionals break away from the major players that hired them to set up their own independent firm and start a more entrepreneurial journey. Besides autonomy and more control, the ability to better define personal purpose is a typical driver to work for Independents or to start one yourself.

Due to their size, market power, and marketing budgets, larger international firms are usually easily found in the market. Small independent types of businesses do not have this luxury, and as such, they need to be more creative to find new work on a continuous basis. Using platforms like Consultants 500 is a perfect way to create extra opportunities because our primary focus and purpose are to help clients find independents in the professional services industry, including independents in the tax industry.

Tax Industry

Professional Service Firms are organizations that exist primarily of professionals who provide advice to business. They include all sorts of businesses, like tax firms, accounting firms, law firms, management consulting firms, web development firms, and much more, most of which are listed on our platform.

Compared to most organizations, professionals service firms, including tax firms, lack hierarchy, are decentralized and have diffuse authority structures. They are knowledge intensive, and their primary currency is intellectual capital and expertise.

A services-dominated economy is characteristic of developed countries, while in less developed countries primary activities such as manufacturing, mining, and agriculture provide for most employment. According to Britannica, the services industry account for more than three-fifths of the global GDP and employs more than one-third of the global labor force. Therefore, Professional Service Firms now rival their Fortune 500 counterparts in nearly all measures of size and some of these firms, in all sectors, including the tax industry, have become truly global players.

According to a November 2016 research from The Business Research Company, the global professional services market in 2015 amounted to USD 3,750 billion. The Americas are the largest market and account for USD 1,500 billion or 40% of the global professional services market. Europe is the 2nd largest market accounting for about 1,300 billion or 35% of the world market. Asia is the 3rd largest market, accounting for USD 750 billion or 20% of the global market. The Middle East & Africa account for 4% while Oceania accounts for 3.5% of the global professional services market. The tax industry is an important and profitable sector that is part of the global professional services industry.

Professionals that provide tax services to businesses typically work in the following sectors:

  • Accounting Firms - A significant portion of tax professionals work for large or smaller accounting firms. The four largest accounting firms, also known as the "Big Four" and some other large international partnerships that provide tax services have many offices across the world. In addition to the Big Four and the larger international firms, there are millions of other accounting firms ranging from small firms to bigger local firms with multiple offices in one country that provide tax services. The difference between the Big Four and the smaller local firms is mainly size in revenues and number of professionals employed . In general, tax services are one of the primary service products of accounting companies. The tax services provided by these firms range from tax advisory services, tax compliance services to highly specialized tax services like tax valuation services or tax incentive services.
  • Law Firms - The global legal services industry is massive and generated more than USD 645 billion in revenues during 2016. The US is the largest legal market and accounts for USD 290 billion or 45% of the global legal market. The UK is the 2nd largest market accounting for USD 45 billion or 7% of the world market. After that comes the German legal market accounting for USD 25 billion (7%), the French legal market accounting for USD 20 billion (3.5%), and then the Japanese legal market (0.5%). A substantial portion of tax services is provided by tax advisors that work for law firms where tax advisory can also be one of the firm's core activities. The tax services provided by tax lawyers is to a large extent comparable to the tax services provided by accounting firms, but law firms tend to provide less tax compliance related services and these firms and their tax lawyers focus more on the legal technicalities from a tax law perspective.
  • 100% Tax Advisory Firms - Some firms have fully specialized in providing tax advisory services to their clients. A significant portion of these type of firms provides a broad range of tax advisory services comparable to the tax services provided by the accounting and law firms. On the other hand, some of these firms have fully specialized in one type of tax service like transfer pricing services, tax compliance services, indirect tax services or real estate taxation services.
  • Freelance Tax Consultant - Another portion of the overall tax services is performed by tax experts who carry out their jobs as freelance tax specialists. These freelancers are typically hired as an in-house tax specialist by companies for a period to provide all sorts of tax services. These freelance tax consultants may partly take over the work that is usually done by the tax advisors of the accounting or law firms. However, it is also widespread that these freelance tax experts operate as the link between the business that hired them and the tax advisory firm enabling the tax advisory firm to focus more on highly specialized tax advisory services at a more senior level.
  • In-house Tax Advisor - Tax experts also work for private or public companies performing most or part of the work that was traditionally done by external tax advisors. A company may have only one tax director, or it may have a large tax staff made up of the tax director, a tax manager and less experienced tax specialists. Generally, the larger the company, the bigger its tax team

As a result of globalization, business developments, continuous changes in tax regulations and many other factors, the tax industry is in a constant state of flux. Tax advisory firms now compete with non-tax advisory service providers and some tax services are offshored to foreign countries.

The way the professional services industry works, including the tax industry, has changed dramatically during the past few decades. Technology developments enabled working with massive amounts of data, work remotely, and deal with clients and colleagues at any place at any time. These technology changes are expected to continue at a fast pace in the future, and some experts predict that the traditional professional services industry will likely be radically different in ten years. We have further outlined the main causes and the main sectors impacted by ongoing disruption in our analysis: The Future of the Professional Services Industry.

Looking for a Local Freelance Tax Consultant?

According to a recent report from McKinsey, online talent platforms are increasingly connecting people to the right work opportunities.
