| Q3. |
How do I pay for the consultant's services? |
| A. |
It can be as simple as an invoicing arrangement where the consultant provides summary of the hours worked and invoices that client for payment. Or a consulting services agreement is executed that clearly defines the deliverables or statement of work that the consultant will provide and the fees that the client will pay. Other terms and conditions such as payment terms, handling of expenses, continuation & termination are also defined. Consultants can also work on a retainer arrangement where a pre-payment is made against which the client draws hours. The consultant provides a summary of the hours worked and bill against the retainer. Most consultants will work with the client to develop a plan that best suits their needs. |
