Contract Details:
- Hourly Rate: $40–$55/hour depending on experience
- Estimated Hours: 10–20 hours per week, with additional hours needed per quarter and yearly, with flexibility to grow.
- Contract Type: Freelance/1099
- Location: Remote (U.S. only)
Note:
As NPFM continues to grow, we are prioritizing candidates who are open to increasing hours over time or transitioning into full-time work. If that’s you, we’d love to know!
