“The people that I was working with made it all good for me — made it important to me — made it special.”

Why independent consulting
Skilled professionals are becoming independent consultants to capitalize on their strengths, gain ownership over how they work, and select projects that interest and excite them. Working as an independent provides greater financial independence and entrepreneurial freedom compared to the traditional corporate model.
Why Overlap
Overlap Consulting is a boutique consulting firm serving clients in Phoenix, with an emphasis on the utility industry. Our business model matches top tier independent consultants with the needs of our clients — and then supports both sides for ongoing success. We believe this low overhead model is a win-win for both our clients and our consultants.
