Management services is the practice of outsourcing the responsibility for maintaining, and anticipating need for, a range of processes and functions, ostensibly for the purpose of improved operations and reduced budgetary expenditures through the reduction of directly-employed staff. It is an alternative to the break/fix or on-demand outsourcing model where the service provider performs on-demand services and bills the customer only for the work done. 

Consulting is the practice of providing expert advice and solutions to organizations or individuals facing specific challenges.

Consulting entails specialized knowledge, skills, and experience in specific industries or domains that serve to help businesses solve specific problems.

The purpose of consulting is to offer objective insights, strategic recommendations, and practical assistance to help clients overcome obstacles, capitalize on opportunities, and enhance their overall performance. Consultants bring a fresh perspective and often employ a systematic and analytical approach to assess the client’s situation, identify areas for improvement, and develop tailored strategies and action plans.

Consulting services generally include:

• Marketing and sales
• Financial advisory services
