The savvy business interpreter knows that narrowing your business interpreting services to one industry isn't always the best idea. The more skills and experience you acquire, the better you become at your craft. Many business interpreters find full or part-time work providing their services to interpreting agencies, or as freelance workers in the following fields:

1. Finance and accounting

Everyone has to get their financial affairs in order - at the very least, during tax season. Business interpreters can find work at investment agencies, financial experts, for auditors and more.

2. Marketing

As businesses expand, or try to reach new audiences, they need to adapt their messaging accordingly. Business interpreters help them reach their goals, by bridging the gap between the target audience and the language they speak. They work to ensure the messaging is clear, and accurate in another language.

3. Real Estate

In the real estate industry, business interpreters can work for the real estate industry, the buyer, the seller or all of the above. They can help with property listings, contracts and negotiations.
