SCENARIO - Terri has an annual contract with Jackson Mortgage Brokers to provide property maintenance services; this includes lawn care, snow removal and parking lot maintenance. Terri spends, on average, 20 hours per week working at the company's premises and is paid a flat amount monthly. She hires part-time workers, when necessary, to assist her. Terri does not have any other clients.

Her contact at the company is Glenn Simpson, the Facilities Manager, who meets with her every Monday to discuss the work to be done that week. Glenn approves Terri's monthly invoices and submits them to Accounts Payable.
