After Irikah died, Thane says that he went freelance. He killed those who deserved to die, and rid the galaxy of evils. I always thought that Seryna merely assumed that Thane was hired by an employer but wasn't certain herself:
1. Because of Thane's reputation as one of the galaxy's most dangerous assassins, she would assume that he was hired.
2. Because Thane said himself that a lot of people wanted Nassana killed.
3. Nassana was an evil woman, in ME1 she gave Shepard a mission to kill her sister so Nassana could further her own ambitions.
4. It is unlikely that anyone knew that Thane had become a freelancer after Irikah's death, as he never talked about it to anyone before Shepard.
So I don't believe he was contracted to kill Nassana, I just think Seryna thought he was.
I hope this has helped 
I think you have it a bit mixed up:
Thane freelanced after marrying Irikah. "When I married Irikah, the Hanar released me from their service so I could raise a family. But I had no other skills, so I freelanced." After she was killed, he hunted down those responsible, a quest that took ten years. "Once I'd elimnated them I had no goal. I accepted the Dantius comission because I didn't know what else to do."
1) There are two conversations with Seryna each with the option to investigate certain things said for further clarification. While Thane's neck-snapping reputation might preceed him, when asked directly if she knows anything else about Thane, Seryna replies, "
He said he's not doing it for the money. Nobody hired him." She can assume all she likes, but she has put words into his mouth.
2) A lot of people
did want Nasanna killed. But if Thane decided to consciously hunt down and kill Nassana, even for the good of Illium and the rest of the galaxy, that's an active decision on his part, the gun making a decision all its own. That means that his own perception as his body as a weapon and his soul being free of any emotional entanglements due to his body's actions is broken, if someone DIDN'T hire him. Now, the problem isn't Thane- Thane during later conversations calls it a job, a comission, he acts like someone hired him, and it's fine. He consistently acts as though he was hired. Seryna's dialogue, a single line of dialogue before we meet Thane flies in the face of what we learn about him after the fact, right after Nassana's death and later, on the Normandy.
3) If you remember from ME1, Nassana hires you under false pretenses to go save her kidnapped sister, but it turns out her sister was a slaver and Nassana wanted her taken care of before wind of it reached the Citidel and others and ruined her career. Her sister was a slaver. A SLAVER. Her sister wasn't some innocent that Nassana tricked you into taking out preemptively. It was deceitful on Nassana's part, but her sister wasn't exactly one that one could empathize with. You can understand why Nassana wanted her dealt with, and can even sympathize with her situation. Given the... lax morals and rules regarding indentured servitude on Illium, Nassana's sister's occupation can be seen as even more distasteful, to both the player and Nassana. I don't know why Nassana took the evil/crazy pills in Mass Effect Two, because she really wasn't that bad in ME1. Any other random person could have served as Thane's target, the ME team must have just been determined to bring together as many "Hey Remember Me" Characters in one square mile as possible.
4) All signs from Thane point towards his having taking on the job. Right after having neck-snapped his way through the merc-guards and Nassana, while speaking with Shepard, he states that "This was to be my last job". He calls the Dantius assignment a commission. He goes on to state that Irikah's killers were the only ones on his conscience because he made the decision to hunt them down and torture them by himself- no one gave him a job to do so. But he does not mention Nassana along with them- as he would/should have even if he didn't let her suffer, provided he made the decision to kill her own his own. Again, Thane as a character is in the clear, he acted consistently.
Seryna is the issue. She puts forth the information that directly conflicts with everything else the player will later learn about Thane, from Thane. There is far more evidence on Thane's side, so we must believe him over her. Has to be a mistake on Bioware's part. While it's easy to go: wow, Nassana's so damn evil that an assassin will do it for PHREE, considering that assassin is a drell with a very particular personal "code", it doesn't work because of Thane's character.
The only reason this is an issue, is because Thane clearly makes the distinction between actions on his part and actions made by his body, and that the actions made by his body have no bearing on his soul. Irikah's killers = the only ones he ever made the conscious decision to kill. If Seryna was telling the truth, then Nassana would have to be added to that group.
