Who it's for · Consultants

Independent consultants and boutique firms

For independent consultants, boutique consulting firms, fractional executives and specialists who want more opportunity and more capacity, without joining a larger firm.

What you gain

  • More opportunities through trusted peer relationships and people close to clients.
  • Larger work. Bring other Members onto an engagement when the Client needs more than you deliver alone, while you keep the Client contract.
  • Complementary expertise and capacity without hiring permanent staff or building overhead.
  • No Network fee today, and payment only when your Client pays.
  • Your practice stays yours: your brand, Clients, pricing, methods, staff and decisions.

Fractional executives and specialists often use Conexus to find complementary expertise for the work in front of them, and to be the expertise another Member brings in.
