A professional services consultant is a person who sells their time and expertise as opposed to a manufactured product. A professional services consultant may bill on an hourly basis to do work on behalf of a client. Marketing consultants, IT consultants, legal consultants, and investment consultants are just a few examples of popular consultancy careers.
