Remote advisory work allows you to work on your own time and schedule.

Advisors are hired to help CEOs and other C-suite executives strategize and develop roadmaps, so CEOs often seek guidance on a per hour or per project basis, rather than hiring a full-time employee, to address one or more specific challenges they’re facing. One particular project may only involve a single hour phone call, or it could last a month over a series of one-hour meetings, and as the advisor you are in control of setting the days and times that best suit your schedule. This allows you to take on as much, or as little, advisory work as you want.

Eliminating time spent commuting to and from meetings also opens the door for busy executives who would otherwise not have time to take on additional work. Now, executives can schedule time throughout their day for advisory work that still allows them to maintain their full-time job.

It opens the door to opportunities that would otherwise be limited to geographical location.

Virtual communication makes it possible to work from anywhere in the world, and advisory work is no exception. Since most advisory work involves providing leadership teams with information and resources, rather than performing individual tasks, everything can be done over the phone or through video conferencing and emails.

Remote advisory work empowers companies to now cast a broader net to hire the most talented advisors, regardless of where they live, and advisors can now accept work outside of what would otherwise need to be within reasonable commuting distance.

Because companies have the flexibility to hire advisors from anywhere in the world, many turn to professional networks, like AdvisoryCloud, to find qualified advisors that match their needs.
