Definition of Consulting or a Consultant.

Consultant is an expert in a particular field who provides professional advice for individuals
and businesses according to their expertise.

The way the consultant works goes through several stages, namely making preparations,
identifying consumer problems, collecting data, analyzing, testing and making hypotheses,
then presenting the results.

Consulting is when you ask for the help of an expert (consultant) to solve the problem you
are facing. Here the key word is problem solving.
When you use a consultant, the consultant is the one who will do all the work for you. You
don't even have to know how, in the end you just receive the result of the work.
For example, you are confused and have absolutely no idea how to make a tax report for your
business. You can hire the services of a tax consultant to do this work for you. He will do all
the tax reporting and administration, you just sit back and relax (and pay of course) because
all the problems are taken care of.

Consulting is usually appropriate if you really don't want to learn or do the thing in question
(it might actually take a lot of time and the results aren't optimal). Better to give it to
someone who is more skilled at managing it to make it well.

One example that is quite popular is a Financial Consultant. This career choice is for you who
are interested in managing personal finances. Automatically, in contrast to other consultants,
the clients of this profession are individuals.

According to NerdWallet, some of their tasks are:


* Assess the client's current financial state
* Create a strategic plan to achieve the client's financial goals
