Consultants offer advice and expertise to organisations to help them improve their business performance in terms of operations, profitability, management, structure and strategy. Consulting is a sociable profession with plenty of networking opportunities. The consulting work typically stretches across a variety of areas but at NX Partners we mainly focus on finance, treasury and management reporting.
The projects you are involved in and the tasks you are performing depend on the area you are working on, but general responsibilities include:
- conducting research, surveys and interviews to gain understanding of the business
- analysing financial data
- detecting issues and investigating ways to resolve them
- assessing the pros and cons of possible strategies
- compiling and presenting information orally, visually and in writing
- making recommendations for improvement, using computer models to test them and presenting findings to client
- implementing agreed solutions
- developing and implementing new procedures or training.
