Accountant\/finance manager<\/h2>\n<p>Freelancers are responsible for handling their own business finances. They do their own books, file taxes, spend hours agonizing over 2 cents they can\u2019t find in their ledger and pay the price if they forget to file taxes on time.<\/p>\n<p>Since most freelancers tend to ignore their taxes and their filing system is dismal, you\u2019ll find a lot of them going crazy near tax time.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/job-roles-for-freelancers\/accounting-and-finance.jpg\" alt=\"accounting and finance\" width=\"800\" height=\"658\"><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Tip: <\/strong>Take the time to search and invest in a good <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/invoice-freelance-clients-professionally\/\">accounting system<\/a> to avoid headaches and fines down the line.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Human Resource Manager<\/h2>\n<p>While you get to make the fun decisions like which client to take on and which ones to let go, you also have to be the one to get yourself to show up for work even though you have a cold. After all, you don\u2019t get paid sick leave.<\/p>\n<p>Dealing with fussy clients and hiring other freelancers for subcontracting your work etc all <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/types-of-clients\/\">falls on the HR<\/a> side too. It\u2019s all on you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip: <\/strong>There\u2019s no getting out of this one. If you treat your clients\u2019 right then HR issues won\u2019t crop up often enough.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Public Relations Manager<\/h2>\n<p>Freelancers are their own PR team. No one else will wax lyrical about their work or business. They\u2019re responsible for telling prospective clients how awesome they are, how they help their clients get success through their work and how working with them is such a breeze.<\/p>\n<p>They also deal with repercussions from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/fire-freelance-clients\/\">disgruntled clients<\/a> or any other problems that come up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> Social Media is a freelancer\u2019s favourite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/tips-leverage-twitter-for-freelance-business\/\">PR tool<\/a>. Luckily, if you use social media right, it shouldn\u2019t take more than a few minutes every day to get your PR done.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Marketing Executive<\/h2>\n<p>If only work would land in our lap simply just because we are good at it, but that\u2019s never the case. Freelancers have to actively and continuously market their business to get clients, not only when they are in need of new clients or work.<\/p>\n<p>No matter how awesome our work is, clients won\u2019t find out about it and us if we don\u2019t <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/professional-linkedin-profile\/\">market ourselves<\/a>. It\u2019s one of those daily activities that can take as much time as doing the actual work.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/job-roles-for-freelancers\/marketing-manager.jpg\" alt=\"marketing manager\" width=\"800\" height=\"658\"><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> Instead of focusing on time-consuming marketing efforts, figure out a few smaller, easy-to-do marketing techniques that don\u2019t take a lot of time and do them regularly.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Customer Service Team<\/h2>\n<p>Thought your days of talking to customers and answering their questions and listening to their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/clients-from-hell\/\">complaints<\/a> were behind you? Think again. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/work-better-with-freelance-clients\/\">Satisfying a client<\/a> is a freelancer\u2019s No. 1 job.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t take your client\u2019s complaints seriously, they\u2019ll drop you like hot coals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> Clients are the lifeblood of your freelance business. Treat them like gold, go out of your way to make them happy with your work and reap the benefits of a successful client-freelancer relationship.<\/p>\n<h2>6. Admin Manager<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019ve been freelancing for a while, there are probably days when you feel more like a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/essential-boring-tasks-freelancers-hate-doing\/\">secretary<\/a> than a freelancer. If you don\u2019t watch out, scheduling meetings, deadlines, and interviews can take up half a day.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no one who can screen your calls and emails. Add filing and organizing your files to the mix and it almost feels like you have another job apart from freelancing.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/job-roles-for-freelancers\/admin-manager.jpg\" alt=\"admin manager\" width=\"800\" height=\"472\"><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> This is why a lot of freelancers, get virtual assistants if they can afford to. They can\u2019t get you coffee but they can certainly take care of scheduling and organizing your work! Alternatively, make sure you do all your filing, scheduling and organizing as it comes up. Don\u2019t procrastinate.<\/p>\n<h2>7. Debt Collector<\/h2>\n<p>Unpaid invoices are the harsh reality of freelancing. Thankfully if you\u2019re careful about choosing who you work with, they won\u2019t happen often. But when they do happen, you have to be the one who hound the client to clear payments.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tips:<\/strong> Make sure you have a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/freelance-contract-clauses\/\">contract<\/a> in which you outline the payment terms. Send your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/invoice-freelance-clients-professionally\/\">invoices<\/a> on time and charge a late fee if the invoice is not paid. In some cases, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/time-tracking-mac-apps\/\">time-tracking apps<\/a> can help.<\/p>\n<h2>8. Sales Team<\/h2>\n<p>Freelancers don\u2019t sell products. They sell services \u2013 their own services at that. Every time they contact prospective clients, they\u2019re putting on their salesman hat.<\/p>\n<p>This works hand in hand with marketing but essentially it\u2019s this team which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/getting-more-design-projects-tips\/\">closes the sale<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> It\u2019s their job to convince the prospective client to hire them. Not an easy job but think of the benefits. New client, more work and more money. Definitely worth the effort!<\/p>\n<h2>9. IT Technician<\/h2>\n<p>As a freelancer, there\u2019s no one you can call and yell at if your computer crashes or your printer stops working for some mysterious reason. Freelancers are responsible for taking care of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/working-from-home-tips\/\">their own equipment<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If the thought frightens you, get help with the setup then always keep a backup.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/job-roles-for-freelancers\/IT-technician.jpg\" alt=\"IT technician\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\"><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> Make sure you backup your files religiously, and have more than one backup! Have alternatives for everything that could possibly break down near a crucial deadline.<\/p>\n<h2>10. Quality Control Personnel<\/h2>\n<p>Sometimes, when work is plenty and deadlines are too close to each other, freelancers focus more on completing the work on time than on the quality of their work.<\/p>\n<p>Since you\u2019re working for yourself, there\u2019s no one else who can assure the quality of your work except you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip: <\/strong>Pencil in deadlines a couple of days before they\u2019re actually due. This gives you enough time to go through your work and make sure that the quality is still there. Keep track of clients\u2019 needs with their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/creative-brief-from-clients\/\">creative briefs.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Wrapping up<\/h2>\n<p>Lastly, don\u2019t worry if you are not a multi-tasking wizard. I\u2019ll let you in on a little secret: most of us weren\u2019t good multi-taskers when we started out either. We learn everything on the job, and so will you.<strong> Just keep at it and don\u2019t give up!<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Freelancers aren\u2019t just creative individuals who work on whatever vocation they\u2019ve decided to focus on.
