Who?
As a freelancer I love working on interesting projects that I consciously pick based on my interests, my preferred working mode and availability. However it is not easy to acquire cool projects. I don't like all the admin stuff around my project work incl. acquisition and invoicing. consultingheads helps me focus on the things I do best: helping a client solve a problem.
