Join an Independent Consultant Network Without Giving Up Your Independence
You became independent to practice on your own terms. You should not have to build an entire firm by yourself to keep it that way.
Keep your clients, your rates, your expertise, and your name. Cdaeris adds the firm-level infrastructure, client tools, back office, and peers that are slow and expensive to build alone.
What is Cdaeris?
Cdaeris is a shared platform for independent consultants — one recognized name, backed by real infrastructure, that every member works under.
You keep your clients and your reputation. Clients still hire you personally, by name, with Cdaeris behind you — it is the company brand that steps back, not the person. You set your own rates, too; we consult with you on maximizing your return for the effort you put in.
What you set aside is a separate company brand, and with it the cost of building recognition from nothing, funding your own systems, and carrying the back-office alone. A single, consistent name earns client trust faster than a hundred separate ones — and it lets us put tools, support, and credibility behind you that no individual practice could fund on its own.
Who is it for?
Cdaeris is for independent consultants ready to take their practice to the next level. The ideal member already has—or is close to having—a steady flow of leads but wants to build a more professional, credible, and visible business presence.
You value a smarter, supportive backend that streamlines your work, and you’re ready to stop juggling everything alone so you can focus on what you do best—delivering exceptional results for your clients.
Why join Cdaeris?
Cdaeris agents gain access to shared assets, systems, and repeatable processes that reduce administrative burden and increase delivery capacity.
The Cdaeris model provides brand strength, back-office support, marketing, training, and peer collaboration.
All this drives visibility, revenue, quality outcomes, and is designed to remove friction so you can spend more time doing great work, and less time on administration.
Together, we align around one vision: helping consultants deliver better outcomes with more credibility, visibility, and momentum than they could achieve alone.
Is Cdaeris right for you?
Cdaeris is for consultants who believe in the power of collaboration over competition. It’s not about maintaining separate company brands—it’s about strengthening one shared platform that benefits everyone involved.
If you want to grow your business, improve client outcomes, and be part of a team that continuously raises the bar, then Cdaeris is the right fit for you.
If you’re a consultant who values consistency, quality standards, continuous improvement, and the strength of community, Cdaeris is built for you.
The result: more booked revenue, stronger client trust, and the satisfaction of working within a brand that amplifies your impact.

What This Looks Like in Practice
Cdaeris is built to create practical leverage for independent consultants, not another network to belong to.
One client relationship became bigger for everyone
Allen Edwards was already working with a client on operations when a sales challenge surfaced that needed a different kind of expertise.
Instead of sending the client outside the relationship, he brought in Cdaeris sales consultant Chris Duncan.
Chris gained a new client. Allen earned referral revenue. The client got both operations and sales support from people working inside the same firm — and went on to increase its operations engagement as well.
One relationship became more valuable to all three parties: the client, the consultant who introduced it, and the consultant brought in to help.
Consulting without chasing the invoice
Chris would rather spend his time selling and consulting than managing billing.
Cadence records the time he spends with clients as part of his normal workflow. The Cdaeris team takes those records, prepares the billing, sends the invoices, and follows up on receivables until payment arrives.
Chris keeps doing the work only he can do. The firm handles the work he should not have to.
What Membership Costs
Priced to pay for itself.
What You Pay
Two parts, and that is the whole of it.
- $250 per month — covers Microsoft 365, CRM, email marketing, Cadence, Ascend, your lead generation portal, monthly group training, and a monthly 1:1 strategy call
- 10% of revenue — we handle the invoicing, collection, and distribution
- Virtual Assistant hours à la carte — buy time when you need it, nothing when you do not
What You Can Earn Back
Collaboration is part of how the network operates.
- When a relationship you introduce becomes work for another Cdaeris consultant, you participate in that revenue for six months — we administer it
- First dibs on internal client referrals and cross-collaboration opportunities
- You set your own rates; we consult with you on maximizing your return for the effort you put in

Is This Actually For You?
Cdaeris works best for a particular kind of practice. Here is the shape of it.
Cdaeris is probably right for you if
- You have real expertise that people already pay for
- You can generate at least some of your own opportunities
- You spend more time on admin, tooling and chasing invoices than you would like
- You want to offer clients more than a solo practice can carry
- You are willing to work to shared quality standards
Cdaeris is probably not right for you if
- You are looking for your first client rather than a better way to serve the ones you have
- You have already built an efficient firm with your own staff and systems
- You want to keep marketing a separate company brand
- You want leads handed to you without contributing to the network
- You would rather work entirely alone, on entirely your own terms
How Joining Works
Five steps, and you can stop at any of them.
- Fit conversation. Thirty minutes. Your practice, what you want to protect, and whether the economics work for you.
- Practice review. We look together at your current clients, rates, tools and admin load, and what would actually move.
- Agreement. Terms in writing, including what stays yours and how you leave if it stops working.
- Onboarding. Branded email, Microsoft 365, CRM, Cadence, Ascend, and your profile on cdaeris.com.
- First engagement under Cdaeris. With contracting, invoicing and the back office already behind you.
FAQ
Do I have to give up my brand?
Your business brand steps back; you don't. If you have been trading under a company name, that name stops being promoted — what carries forward is you. Clients hire you personally, by name, with Cdaeris behind you, and your reputation, relationships, and track record stay yours.
You also set your own rates. We consult with you on how to maximize your return for the effort you put in, but the pricing decision stays yours.
Your clients, your relationships, and your expertise all come with you, and your profile on cdaeris.com stays yours — your photo, your content, your calendar, your call to action. Already have clients? Bring them along; we'll help you make the transition.
Why does Cdaeris take a percentage of my revenue?
Because you are not subscribing to software. You are standing behind a working firm, and the 10% is what funds it: contracting, invoicing and collections, the client-facing tools your clients actually use, marketing and brand credibility, and the people who keep all of it running.
The USD 250 per month covers your seat. The 10% scales with the work the firm supports, so it stays proportionate to what you are actually billing.
If you have already built an efficient practice with your own staff and systems, Cdaeris may not improve your economics. We would rather establish that in the fit conversation than after you join.
What if I sell a mix of online programs and 1:1 coaching?
Cdaeris has got you covered. You can include video, digital downloads, worksheets, or basically any other type of "extra" right alongside your 1:1 or group coaching package. Our marketing system can even "drip feed" content over time.
Can I customize my profile site?
Yes! You can add your own photos, videos, content, call to action, calendar links, etc. If you’d rather leave it to one of the pros, just choose from one of our existing proven templates
Is it true that Cdaeris will handle my billing & collections?
Yes! That's part of the administrative tasks that we take care of for you. You focus on booking billable time, and we take care of the invoicing.
What kind of support does Cdaeris offer?
In addition to a group of peers to share insights, challenges, and wins, you'll also get professional support. Monthly group training, monthly 1:1 strategy calls, and use of our team of virtual assistants.
