Summary
The United States remains the leader in terms of the size and revenue of consulting firms. Most of the world's top consulting firms are either based in the U.S. or have their largest operations there. Despite not all being based in the U.S., the Big Four accounting and management consulting firms—Deloitte, PwC, EY, and KPMG—all have significant operations in the U.S., and many of them generate the largest share of their revenue from their U.S. divisions.
Many of these firms offer cutting-edge solutions to help clients across a variety of industries, including consumer goods, healthcare, and private equity, focusing on growth strategy and other innovative solutions.

There are plenty of brilliant delivery leaders in professional services. People who keep complex projects moving, clients happy, and teams focused. They're good at what they do. (Often very good.) But a ceiling exists and most of them hit it. Not because they lack skill. Not because they haven't put in the time. But because the thing that makes someone a great delivery operator is not the same thing that makes them a credible executive.
