A consultant (from the Latin consultare means "to discuss" from which we also derive words such as consul and counsel) is a professional who provides advice in a particular area of expertise such as management, accountancy, the environment, entertainment, technology, law (tax law, in particular), human resources, marketing, food production, medicine, finance, life management, economics, public affairs, communication, engineering, sound system design, graphic design, or waste management. A consultant is usually an expert or a professional in a specific field and has a wide knowledge of the subject matter. A consultant usually works for a consultancy firm or is self-employed, and engages with multiple and changing clients. Thus, clients have access to deeper levels of expertise than would be feasible for them to retain in-house, and may purchase only as much service from the outside consultant as desired. It is generally accepted good corporate governance to hire consultants as a check to the Principal-Agent problem. 'Consultant' is also the term used to denote the most senior medical position in the United Kingdom, Australia and Ireland (e.g., a consultant surgeon). From Wikipedia under the

Q. I would like to find out how much consultants charge for their commute time from their home to their client's location and for the return trip. Do you charge your usual hourly rate for however long the round-trip commute takes? Also, do you charge for the IRS-allowed per-mile travelling charges on top of that? TIA Asked by Elmo - Mon Nov 9 12:09:41 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. I am unsure whether you're asking as an employer or as the consultant, but I'll provide my answer based on my own consulting policy as a technology consultant. Even though you're "not performing specialized services while commuting", your time is valuable whether you're on the road or at your client's site. Think of it as a lost opportunity for each second you're commuting that you could be spending utilizing your skills when you can work remotely from home. I suggest to include the commute time at your regular hourly rate. That's what I do and no clients of mine had ever asked about it nor shown any concern. I'm part of a technology consulting group that meets regularly and everybody in that group does the same, i.e. charging the… [cont.] Answered by ISC - Mon Nov 9 14:18:44 2009 What is the word that consultants use to describe their billing hours over their avail hours?

Q. I am planning my wedding which is to happen next summer and was curious as to how much wedding coordinators/consultants charge. I just need advice on a couple things so a full coordination is not necessary. So does anyone know the going rate? Asked by Megan - Fri Apr 24 18:23:46 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. I got one to help 2 months before the wedding (to confirm all appointments), the day of rehearsal, and the day of the wedding for about $1300. She is great! She has provided me with advice since we signed the contract and will have meetings and her full attention two months before. She will have 5 assistance the day of (some at the church and the rest at the reception site). Huge help and will alleviate with the stress. I definitely recommend.
