5 Great Reasons to hire a consulting firm rather than an employee

Helping Your Business is Our Only Priority

Employees can have many priorities and they may not be all about helping your business grow and be more efficient. A consulting firm can give you measurable results and we get paid when we get the job done for you. We work with owners and management, define the plan, implement it and report on results.

All of our hours are productive

Employees may not be productive throughout the day while a consulting firm is accountable for all hours devoted to your business. In today’s economy you may face the need to downsize to remain competitive and with employees that means layoffs or finding a way to trim the staff. This is often difficult and expensive leaving your business open to HR related problems. A consulting firm is hired to get your projects done, work with your budget and business priorities. You will never have to pay sick time, vacation or employment to At Your Service.

No Benefit Expense

If you have full-time employees more than likely you are incurring payroll expense and rising health insurance costs. With a consulting firm you are paying for hours devoted to your business without the overhead.

Fully Trained

Training expense is a tough hurdle for most businesses especially when there is no guarantee the employee will work out. At Your Service brings 25 years of corporate expertise in marketing, sales and IT. It’s our job to know your business and bring the correct resources to get the tasks completed.

Fully Flexible

Employees may be good at certain tasks and when business priorities change it may be difficult to re-task your employees. They may simply not have the skills to move to the new project or quit when they feel pressured to learn a new area of your business. A consulting firm is ready to take on whatever tasks you need and has the resources to get multiple projects done without the need to find new employees
