FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
What is consulting?
Consulting denotes any form of help or assistance in the content, process and structure of a task, when the consultant is not in fact responsible for the implementation of the task, but aides those, who bear that responsibility. The definition of consulting is so broad it can apply to nearly every aspect of life. Therefore, regarding business, a consultant is anybody in a company’s structure, who decides to help a colleague, friend, subordinate or organization in certain circumstances, however, who does not manage or control the given situation. Therefore, consulting, whether provided momentarily or through a full-time job, delivers the professional knowledge and abilities needed for solving practical management problems. Furthermore, consulting institutions, as our company, expand their services to other domains of business, such as performing audits and due diligence, preparing the relevant projects documentation, acquiring financing for ventures, as well as assisting in trade transactions and procedures.
