Common mistake:
Learners sometimes confuse "consultancy" with "consultation". "Consultancy" is the type of work or business of giving expert advice over time, while a "consultation" is usually one meeting or session of giving advice. For example, "She works in consultancy" (type of work), but "I had a consultation with a lawyer" (one meeting).
Meaning
professional activity of giving expert advice

Synonyms
consulting (Very close in meaning; often used more in American English, while "consultancy" is slightly more common in British English for the activity.)
|
advisory work (More general and slightly more formal; does not always imply a formal business arrangement.)
