Some of my clients are working with a new accounting system this year and it's a disaster. They keep asking me to change details like dates on invoices already issued and are obliged to ask for estimates for work that is difficult to quantify in advance.... | | | Ana Vozone Local time: 22:38 Member (2010) English to Portuguese + ...

Administrative work is the most difficult task for me. Different clients, mostly small to medium size jobs, i.e, many jobs to bill, different billing procedures for each client: this combination means a lot of work that I would rather not have to do... | | | Client hunting | Nov 16, 2018 |

The hardest bit for me is not knowing how much I’ll be earning from one year to the next. Up 10-15% is great, down is not so good (and saving is easier said than done). | | | Not difficult, but tiring: payments. | Nov 16, 2018 |

But when I started out I had trouble keeping track of POs, late payments, etc., too many clients, too many projects! | | | Mario Freitas Brazil Local time: 18:38 Member (2014) English to Portuguese + ...

It's not something I do very often, and I always use the same non-aggressive methods. I have a decent client portfolio, thankfully, but I would have a hard time starting all over.
