Lahure boi,
I was kind of in the same situation when I applied for H1B visa, I wasn't employed (but was working on my own project) for quite a bit, about 6 months while in OPT, and finally I got a job offer. I went to canada (ottawa) for visa stamping and I told them that I am starting the job in a month. As I wasn't working for the company at the moment, the consular(a black lady, who happened to be very nice) said I don't need paystubs or tax returns if not working for that company at the moment.
All she looked at was my H1B approval, my offer letter and my degree from school and the next day I got my visa.
My company wasn't a consultancy either, it is a small company with about 60 employees and I am their first H1B employee.
Not everyone's case is the same and not consular is as nice, but I gave it a try and it worked well for me.
Best of luck.
