Independent
As an Independent Professional, you are just that—independent. You know what it takes to get the job done, you know what it’s worth, and you don’t need your employer "managing" you. You are a professional who is responsible and accountable for the work you do. All IPS Consultants possess this quality.

Self-Motivated
As a professional in your field, you know what it takes to stay competitive and maintain the highest billable rates for your skill-set. That is why you continually update, improve and expand your technology by choosing contracts that will help you accomplish this goal. You also stay current by reading publications and trade magazines for your industry. You also regularly surf the net for up-to-date information about your industry.

Financially Savvy
You want the big billable rate to fit your technology; or, maybe you've obtained it. So now what? If you’re smart, you will find a way to maximize what you "put in your pocket" from your billable rate. If you bill $100 per hour as a W-2 consultant, you may be surprised to learn that a consultant who makes $75 per hour may not only "take home" more than you, but also socks away more savings for his future by putting funds into a pension, that you control.

Security Minded
As a consultant, security is a big concern. You need the security of stable benefits and future savings to be productive on your client assignments. IPS consultants have peace of mind when it comes to their benefits. They know that no matter where there assignments lead them, they have a steady "home base" complete with medical, dental, long-term disability and pension. And any time they want to know about their profit center’s activity, their personal assistant is ready to answer their questions and provide them with the data necessary to make informed decisions.

To further clarify who an IPS Consultant is, keep this in mind:

- Numerous consultants have shut down their own single-party or small corporations to join IPS because they realize the value of their time and how it is far better spent developing relationships and earning extra billable dollars than administering a company. Not to mention the group benefits they get, which are next to impossible to get on your own. - Experienced consultants with many established relationships enjoy the IPS service because it allows them the ability to continue their focus on what’s important - future prospects and the job at hand. - Consultants new to the industry rely on IPS for its experience in the field and the administrative and financial freedom available to them while developing relationships, which are crucial to the success of their future as an independent consultant. IPS’ relationship with consultants is a two-way street. As an IPS consultant you demand a quality service. And as a professional service to consultants, IPS expects quality consultants with the foresight to demand the best.
