What this list covers

Consultancies headquartered or genuinely operating in London, compact enough that the partners still do the client work. Specialisms range across strategy, operations, transformation, commercial due diligence, financial services and PE value creation.

MBB and the Big Four are excluded. So are bodies-for-hire staffing agencies dressed up as consultancies. Each entry was reviewed by a person before it went in.

Full detail on sourcing and verification is on the methodology page.

Common questions

What is a boutique consultancy?

A smaller, usually independent firm focused on a specific type of work or sector, rather than a full-service global consultancy. Teams are small enough that junior hires work directly with partners and clients from the start.

How do I get hired by a boutique consultancy?

Mostly by approaching them directly. Few boutiques run graduate schemes and many never post junior openings, so a well-researched email to the right person tends to beat waiting for an advert that may never appear.

How current is this list?

The database holds 1,538 London consultancies right now and it is maintained continuously. Firms that shut down or pivot away from consulting get removed rather than left to rot.
