Professional Consultants
At Lesedi PFS, we provide the expertise and solutions the professional contracting industry needs.
The question we hear most often is: “How much should I charge?”
Background
One of the strongest areas of employment growth globally has been professional contracting across businesses, management, and organisations. The most advanced markets include IT, Finance, Engineering, Mining, Medical, and Professional Security. Strong demand for talent, lifestyle choices, and the trend toward flexible workforces have created significant opportunities.
Setting Your Rates
Professional consultants are generally paid more than their permanently employed peers – for good reason. As a consultant you often forgo benefits such as paid annual leave, sick leave, public holidays, group benefits, and redundancy provisions. These must be factored into your hourly rate, along with periods of potential downtime between contracts.
We operate with unwavering honesty & integrity
In a world of continued change, it is imperative to adapt your business strategy and processes accordingly. Survival is not linked to the strongest or the most intelligent, but rather to those who adapt successfully to an ever-changing environment.
