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.
