Consulting is a thriving career. Cutting across a range of sectors and businesses, professionals are opting for independent consulting as a preferred choice of career and reaching out to companies who seek their expertise. While having an expert on board without hiring full-time works well for companies, for consultants, it’s the idea of working for different organizations and being paid for doing it.

Amidst all the closed-door meetings and ‘consulting’, managing things could become challenging. Though it’s a “one man army” brigade, consultants would still be required to have their business registered, run and manage the end-to-end of it. From answering calls, sending/receiving emails and documentation to picking up business-related couriers, not always can it be managed with ease. What is the way forward?
