Got it! So you’re currently handling board meetings, general meetings, annual reports, and correspondences but want to take on more CS-related work without leaving your current role.
Here are a few ideas to get additional work without quitting:
Freelance or Consultancy: Offer your Company Secretary expertise on a freelance basis to smaller companies or startups that need CS help but don’t have full-time resources.
Part-time or Project-based Work: Take on specific projects like drafting minutes, secretarial audits, compliance reports, or secretarial due diligence for other firms.
Networking: Join professional groups or forums (like ICSI local chapters, LinkedIn CS groups) to find opportunities where companies seek consultants for specific CS assignments.
Skill Expansion: You could also expand into related compliance fields—like SEBI, ROC filings, corporate governance advisory, etc.—which companies often outsource.
Online Platforms: Check out freelancing websites like Upwork, Freelancer, or specialized legal/compliance marketplaces to find part-time CS gigs.
