For Senior Consultants at Big 4 & Large Firms

Most consultants leave
3× their earning potential
on the table.

You have the expertise. You have the network. You're just still billing through a firm that takes 60% of what clients pay. Independent consulting changes that — and this is the program that shows you how, without the trial-and-error phase.

Is this for you?

If any of this sounds familiar, yes.

You're billing $200–500/hr
but seeing $80–150/hr.

The firm takes the rest. You're doing the work. They've built the brand. You want your cut.

You're ready to leave but
not sure where clients come from.

The exit is obvious. The next step isn't. You need a concrete path from firm employee to independent operator.

You want higher rates
but don't want to negotiate alone.

Independent means setting your own rates. The program's approach is: start high, prove value, get paid.

The program

What you actually get.

No modules on "building confidence." No content on "mindset shifts." Just mechanics: how to find clients, set rates, and run the business.

01 — FOUNDATION

Positioning & offer design

Figure out what you're actually selling and to whom. Most consultants under-price because their offer is too vague. We'll nail it down in week one.

02 — CLIENT FLOW

Where to find clients (the real answer)

No magic. It's warm introductions, strategic content, and a small number of high-signal places where your ideal clients actually congregate. Not a list of 50 websites.

03 — RATE SETTING

How to set — and hold — your rate

Most consultants anchor to what they used to bill. You won't. We'll build the case for your rate so it's never a negotiation — it's a decision.

04 — OPERATIONS

Contracts, invoicing, and the boring stuff

Legal templates, standard contracts, invoicing setup. The things that feel complicated but aren't — once you've seen them once.

About Christian

I did this. Now I help others do it.

I spent years inside a Big 4 firm watching talented consultants get paid fractions of what their work was worth — not because they lacked skill, but because the business model was built to extract the difference.

I left, went independent, and learned the hard way: client acquisition, rate-setting, operations. It took 18 months of trial and error. I don't think you need to do that.

Results

What shows up on the other side.

3–4×
Average rate uplift within 90 days of going independent
"I was billing $180/hr through the firm. Six months after leaving, I'm at $650/hr and it's not even uncomfortable."
6 mo
Median time to first independent client (coached path vs. 12–18 months DIY)
"I expected 18 months. Got my first client in four. The system works because it's not magic — it's followable."
8+
Clients per year for established independent consultants (average)
"I have more clients than I can take. I'm selective now. That's the actual luxury of going independent — the ability to say no."
