An addback

They are basically just problem solvers. They keep up with market/industry trends to advise on how the company should shift if needed.

In finance, a consultant advises on the budget, mergers, and financial decisions for the growth of the company.

Interesting. How is that so? Well, I must admit that some are, but not all though. Lol

A consultant assist organizations in problem-solving and change management so they may run more profitably. In order to help their clients' organizations enhance their business performance, consultants provide advise and expertise. Basically, they're that one best friend that helps you get your life in order when you're deep in a funk.
