For Consultants

Consultant Services.

PrōKo is an agency for independent HR professionals. We're here to help you be more successful while living the life you want.

Our innovative model and collaborative network provide project referrals and 1099 compliance for better tax deductions. As a result, you can access more projects, get a higher rate, and keep more of what you earn.

How we can Help You

Handling the vendor compliance process so you can maintain your 1099 tax status
Participating in a community and referral network with like-minded, senior independent practitioners
Negotiating with clients for a better billing rate
Providing $3 million of insurance so you don’t have to buy it on your own
Referring you to partners and subcontractors when you need them
Handling back office administration such as billing and collections
Reimbursing travel expenses quickly to avoid credit card charges
Assisting you with visibility and outreach
Providing access to legal counsel for contract questions
Coaching on your go-to-market approach and personal brand

What Makes us Different

You’re paid more because we take less. Get 90-100% of your typical billing rate, not 65-70%.
We only grow by personal referral to ensure the quality of our network.
No hassles. We’re here when you need us but not when you don’t.
We’re experts in vendor compliance and contracting. (Watch “The PrōKo Story” to find out why.)
We handle vendor compliance so you keep your 1099 tax status. This is free to you.
If we find the work, our low sourcing fee only applies for the first year with the client.
No sales quotas, no utilization targets. Consulting should be about getting things done for the client, not for the consulting firm.
You remain independent, paid on a 1099 basis. Keep your self-employed tax deductions and access to better retirement savings.

Friends don't let friends W-2™

Being self-employed has terrific tax and retirement benefits, but you need to be paid on a 1099 tax basis to take advantage of them. We’re passionate about the rights of self-employed professionals. Watch our 70-second video to find out why!

PrōKo exists to help you bill more and keep more of what you bill.

What it takes to be a PrōKo Consultant

PrōKo consultants are highly experienced professionals committed to being independent. All PrōKo consultants…

Have at least 15 years of experience in their field
Have prior consulting experience, ideally with a major firm
Have been independent at least a year
Have excellent, senior level client references
Have a polished, professional presence in person and online
Have exceptional interpersonal skills, easily transitioning from shop floor to C-suite
Have the skills to work across the spectrum, from assessment and strategy through implementation
Have chosen consulting as their career; they’re not trying it out or between jobs.

PrōKo believes in the power of personal referrals. This is why every PrōKo consultant has been personally referred by someone we know and trust. Therefore, the first step to being represented by PrōKo is to be introduced by someone that knows us. Once you have been referred to PrōKo there is a multi-step vetting process that takes 3-4 weeks.
