Conversations with Paul Perseke, who has been familiar with consultants throughout his career.
In this conversation, we discussed:
- Paul’s career journey from a “finance nerd”, to CFO, to an independent consultant.
- Paul’s perspective as CFO: how to make the right decision on hiring an employee or a consultant, how to justify a seemingly hefty rate from a consultant.
- Paul points out what a seasoned consultant can bring to the table, more than you hired them for.
- Paul advises consultants about selecting the projects to take on. A good consultant can often help an employer learn about what the permanent role can and should be.
- Paul shares his thoughts on “the mold” a consultant or potential consultant typically fits in. Learn how these traits can lend to success in a career as an independent consultant.
- Paul discusses how to get the first contract and determine your hourly rate.
