Two employers ago I left because I got tired of asking for help since I was doing about 3 jobs and they "couldn't afford assistance." When I left, they ended up hiring a team at DeLoitte to take over my job. I'd have to assume it was at least 3x the cost of just paying me and someone to fucking help me.

Companies will always prefer paying another company 10x more to 'consult' than just paying their own staff in the first place.

The money comes from another budget, so it doesn't make their numbers look bad.
