Many marketing agencies work with freelance designers, copywriters, or media buyers overseas. This workflow uses Wise — a tool for low-fee international money transfers — to pay contractors automatically when you mark their invoice as approved in QuickBooks Online. You stop paying high bank wire fees and your contractors get paid faster in their local currency.
