The concept of consultancy is used to designate the office of the consultant and the office in which this professional carries out his activity.
Office of advisor and office in which he carries out his activity as advisor on a subject of which he is an expert
The advisor is an individual who specializes in a subject and on it provides advice and advice to other people who demand that specific knowledge that he has.
Usually the advisor works in those areas that are considered sensitive in terms of knowledge, that is, there are very few professionals with suitability and knowledge in this area.
For example, the advisor is located in the sector of the economy corresponding to that of services based on specialized knowledge and added value.
An activity that takes place in various contexts: politics, economy, companies, labor, religious ...
For example, in democratic systems at the behest of the Legislative Power, it is common for legislators to have advisers on various matters, who assist them when drawing up projects, or simply with regard to engaging with the media.
Legislators are normally required knowledge and opinion on various issues and therefore it is impossible for a single person to know everything, all the time, so the legislator hires the services of advisers on specific issues to guide them on issues concrete such as economy, security, education, law, among others.
On the other hand, private companies are often other large contractors for consultants when they want to venture into areas that are underdeveloped or unknown. The hired consultant who does have the knowledge will help to move and act with precision and success in the area in question.
Once it has been developed, it is usual for the company to dispense with the services of the advisor and their work is continued by a trained professional of the firm.
In any case, we must say that this activity is developed in the most diverse fields not only in politics and in the private sphere, we will see later.
The advisory It is a very common activity these days, but informally used since time immemorial by man, through which the necessary support will be provided to the people who require it so that they can develop different activities, reasons for the consultation and finally, through the work that the consultancy in question provides, to be able to achieve an understanding of different situations in which is the person or institution requesting advice, judicial, economic, political, financial, real estate, among other.
Assist in difficulties, problem solving and clarification of issues
The main benefit that counseling provides to those who go to it is the help given when solving specific doubts in the area of interest. The reason for creating the consultancy has been precisely this, to help people in what they have difficulties or in what has always been a problem for them.
Counseling works basically as a service that provides assistance to a natural or legal person and supports them on a subject x on which they are an expert. This knowledge in the matter will guarantee an efficient handling of the situation in question.
It should be noted that the adviser, as the individual in charge of counseling is called, should always be a professional in the matter to be discussed.

Another very common advice these days is the computer consulting, which of course will deal with the different contingencies in this area, such as: use of the internet and computer networks, the training of personnel in specific programs, among other tasks.
