We offer service in project management such as inspecting work, crunching budget numbers and keeping track of deadlines. Closing the project involves site cleanup, turning over the project to the owner, collecting payments and scheduling meetings to discuss the lessons learned from a project.
Another service we offer, deals with the commercial field. Marketing is a very broad field of work, making it a bountiful option for consultants.

Or, it’s been running ads for months and hasn’t been able to reduce the Cost-Per-Click (CPC), creating a desperate need to rework ongoing ad campaigns.
