Market Context & Volatility
For anyone doing business between the States and the UK, the Dollar to Pound exchange rate is a daily obsession. The British Pound is one of the oldest currencies in the world, and traditionally, it has carried a lot of weight against the Dollar. However, big political shifts over the last decade have made this pair surprisingly volatile. If you're a UK-based agency billing clients in New York or San Francisco, watching this rate bounce around can be a real rollercoaster.
Freelance & Contract Billing Strategy
If you live in the UK but invoice in USD, try to use a service like Wise or Revolut to receive your funds. They give you the real mid-market rate, which can save you a ton of money compared to letting a traditional bank do the conversion for you.
