It's a labour consultant: a regulated professional who handles payroll, employment contracts, INPS contributions, and HR compliance for businesses. Many small Italian companies outsource almost all HR matters to them.
If you're negotiating a job offer or starting your first hire as a small business owner, the consulente del lavoro is often the person who actually prints your pay slip and handles your contributions.
"When his bakery in Termoli hired its first employee, Adam worked with a consulente del lavoro to set up the CCNL contract, INPS registration, and monthly payroll."
A consulente del lavoro is not a commercialista. They focus on payroll and HR. Commercialisti handle tax and accounting. Many small businesses use both.
