New Platform Addresses the Needs of the Growing Independent Workforce<\/strong><\/h3>\n

According to a recent NPR\/Marist poll<\/a>, one in five jobs in America is held by contract workers, and within a decade half the American workforce could be contractors and freelancers. Canopy Advisory Group<\/a>, a consulting firm that matches high-level advisers with employers who require specialized expertise, is offering EDGE, a new, premium service that supports independent consultants\u2019 practices.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe listened to feedback from our consultant advisers and reviewed market and behavioral trends to determine how Canopy could most effectively meet the expressed needs of our team. The opportunity to collaborate with other highly skilled colleagues was at the top of their list.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the gig economy grows, more and more services and products are tailored for the independent freelancer who wants to take their business to the next level,\u201d said Griffen O\u2019Shaughnessy, president and founder of the Canopy Advisory Group. \u201cWe listened to feedback from our consultant advisers and reviewed market and behavioral trends to determine how Canopy could most effectively meet the expressed needs of our team. The opportunity to collaborate with other highly skilled colleagues was at the top of their list.\u201d<\/p>\n

EDGE amenities include conference and office space; professional development; a subscription to Ohos, a client-feedback platform; access to a vetted adviser database; notification of nonprofit board of director opportunities and other employment openings. The annual EDGE membership fee for vetted Canopy advisers is $1,000.<\/p>\n

Canopy provides both nonprofit and for-profit clients access to highly qualified independent professionals. Advisers have experience with global brands and recognized consulting firms as well as backgrounds with established national marketing agencies. Their areas of expertise include marketing, digital, strategy, finance, nonprofits, and law.<\/p>\n

\u201cEDGE fills a void for those who enjoy working independently but who seek more opportunities to share ideas and strategies with other entrepreneurial peers,\u201d said O\u2019Shaughnessy. \u201cIn the end, when we position our consultants for success clients who hire Canopy Advisory Group benefit.\u201d<\/p>\n
