We've got your back.

So you can stay focused on the work you love to do.

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 $5 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 ProKo 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.

What it takes to be a ProKo consultant

​ProKo consultants are highly experienced professionals committed to being independent. All ProKo 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.

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