Excellent article. I have some questions but your an English Major so you problably know more than me! haha, maybe you can help ME understand.

I'm confused at this sentence, if I reorganize the structure of the sentence (below), it would require some changes, grammatically. I think the subject is maybe mixed up. I don't know the proper grammatical terminology to use: By working with companies as a contractor, rather than an employee, clients are spared typical employee expenses such as overhead, benefits, office space, and income taxes.

Rearranged: Clients are spared typical employee expenses such as ....., by working with companies as a contractor, rather than an employee.
1.) "by working with companies as a contractor" I'm not sure if you mean the client is working with companies because the client is a contractor? if so the meaning doesn't make sense.
2.) "by working with companies as a contractor" perhaps you mean, the clients are working with companies who are contractors (as in The Write Associates). If so, you have plural "companies", but singular "contractor", however they should be same - correct?

What are your thoughts on that?

You have concise writing and I like your quotation.

Sincerely,
Sarah Bernstein
