Business Consultant

A Business Consultant provides advice on how businesses and organisations could improve their processes. You might look at finances and profitability or examine other issues such as customer satisfaction or product quality. Business Consultants may work for a consultancy company or operate their own consultation business.

Business Consultants should have strong interpersonal skills and show good leadership abilities. It’s important you can communicate well with people from a range of backgrounds and liaise with stakeholders at all levels of an organisation. Business Consultants must be organised and able to work with several clients at one time.
