Associate Consultant

Role Cansulta is always looking for great consultants to provide the help, advice, and guidance that businesses need to tackle the challenges and seize the opportunities they face in starting, managing, and growing their operations. In late 2022, Cansulta began our Associates Program as a pilot program to give junior business professionals the opportunity to kick-start their consulting career and join our ever-growing global network of business strategists. Our new “Associate Cansultants” are recent graduates or early-career consultants who can fill the gap in business areas where clients don’t have in-house knowledge or expertise. Note that we do NOT hire or employ any consultants: we are an online marketplace connecting consultants with clients to collaborate, a platform for consultants to offer their products and services easily & affordably to clients. It’s free to join and participate as an Associate on Cansulta. A one-time Platform Setup Fee applies at onboarding to support profile setup, and we otherwise operate on a revenue-sharing basis—so we earn only when you successfully sell your products and services.
