Do business consultants get paid?

Yes - business consultants are paid professionals who charge for their time, expertise, and the value they help create for clients. Consultants can earn income through hourly rates, daily rates, project fees, retainers, and sometimes performance-based or equity arrangements.

• Earnings vary widely:

• Independent consultants may charge from $75 to $300+ per hour, while those with deep specialization or executive-level experience often charge more. 

• Established consultants or boutique firms can generate six or seven-figure annual revenue depending on niche, pricing, and client base. 

• For clients, the important question is not "Do consultants get paid?" but:

• "Is this consultant's work likely to produce a return that justifies the investment?" 

• "Does the consultant's expertise and methodology match the problem we are trying to solve?"

At Kindred Consulting Group, we are very intentional about how we earn fees:

• Work is designed so that every engagement - from diagnostic through implementation - ties directly to clarity, strategic focus, and measurable business outcomes. 

• This ensures that when organizations hire Kindred, they are investing in meaningful change, not just activity.
