Advice for marketing consultants
Contracting as a marketing consultant or strategist is a great step and offers the chance for a very fulfilling career. As a marketer, you would only accept the best, so don’t leave your accountancy and payroll to chance. At Churchill Knight Umbrella, we offer an FCSA-accredited and SafeRec certified payroll service, so you can be sure your payments will be processed compliantly and efficiently. Taking care of your payroll means you have more time to focus on your assignments and the work you enjoy.
Benefits of contracting as a marketing consultant
As a marketing consultant, you will work alongside individuals and businesses to help them create and implement their marketing strategies. This is a rewarding career, and many marketing professionals step away from their corporate roles and set up on their own so they can see their experience create value for their business clients. There are many benefits of contracting as a marketing consultant, and we’ve summarised the main points below:
Experience working with different clients in different industries – As you will not be employed on a full-time basis, this gives you the chance to work with a variety of different clients in different industries and gain experience working on a variety of different projects.
Ability to meet business demands – Many businesses cannot afford to hire a marketing director or strategist and decide to use an external consultant to deliver and develop a strategy.
Extend your knowledge – You will gain experience working on different projects with different requirements, allowing you to build your skillset and expertise.
Higher take-home pay potential – Contractors often have the ability to take home more money than permanent employees because they can negotiate rates.
Umbrella PAYE for a marketing consultant
Churchill Knight Umbrella offers a traditional PAYE umbrella service and will pay you in accordance with UK tax law. Our umbrella service also includes loads of extras – at no additional cost.
