Include external consultancy on resume?

First post here in a long time/ever - curious to see other people's opinions.

Should I include non-employer consultancy/freelance work on my resume when applying for banking roles?

The background to this is some modeling work I've been engaged on by former clients. I kept in touch with an FD of a firm my employer worked with - he has since reached out to me directly on ad-hoc modeling projects. Think accretion/dilution, 3-statement operating models etc. Most recently, he has referred me to other, more detailed projects - rollup-style PE plays etc.

As someone seeking experienced analyst-level lateral opportunities, I think this is something I should highlight. Do others agree/disagree? Would love to hear some input.
