What normally decides the choice in this segment
What to watch. The most common mismatch is a freelancer buying a package designed for an employer, and paying for payroll, management reporting and audit-ready files that will never be used. The reverse mismatch is also common: a freelancer choosing the cheapest possible bookkeeping and then discovering that advisory questions about their own status are billed at an hourly rate.
