Internal Audit by Consultant
As the subject mentioned would you advise me whether the company doing an internal audit using the consultant (on behalf of the company) in the long term will be acceptable/allowed by ISO?

Yes, that has been my practice for the past thirty years with no problems. Consultant and internal auditor. By the way, strangely, ISO 9000:2015 definition for auditor removed the requirement for “formal independence”. What is a requirement is that the auditor demonstrates objectivity and impartiality. I work on that by preparing my checklists and leaving audit reports that describe precisely what I found.
