What being part of Blackbook means
A database depreciates. A community compounds. Being part of the Blackbook pool is about belonging to something — not just sitting on a list.
Access to member benches
Be matched to private pools at consultancies that genuinely need your expertise.
Events & community
Webinars, meetups, and roundtables — a community of independent consultants who get it.
Competitive day rates
Our member consultancies are committed to fair, competitive rates. No race to the bottom.
Clear, fair terms
You work on the member firm's own associate terms — no surprises, no hidden clauses.
Dedicated account support
Your relationship manager keeps your profile warm and flags the right opportunities.
Curated community
We're quality over volume - you'll be joining a community that prides itself on making sure we have the best, not the most.
A high bar. For good reason.
The firms who join Blackbook do so because they trust the quality. That means the bar for joining the pool is high — and we keep it that way.
"Independent by choice, never on your own — do your best work, backed by a community."
Apply to the pool
The application takes about 5 minutes. We review every submission personally and come back to you within 24 hours to one week.
