Management consulting is a great way for newly qualified accountants to apply their training and get exposure to a wide range of businesses and business problems and issues. Management consultants use their industry or functional expertise to identify the business ingredients that can help their clients outperform their peers. Acting as a trusted advisor you could be an essential partner in your clients' journey to become a high performance business.

Management consulting encompasses both strategy and business consulting. You could help deliver high performance by exploring sources of shareholder value creation and transforming business processes. This includes identifying and creatively solving complex problems, designing/re-engineering critical processes, and fundamentally transforming the way a company operates.

The large Consultancies provide services to every major industry worldwide, and you will be exposed to rich and diverse experiences and expertise. Market demand for consulting services is very high which will lead to even more exciting career opportunities for newly qualified accountants both in the UK and overseas..

As a management consultant you could focus on identifying and shaping solutions for your clients, collaborating with both clients' team members and your own colleagues. Project teams are often made up of people with diverse and complementary skills, so you'll not only be expected to contribute leading-edge thinking, but also to encourage other experts to apply their own skills. At a more senior level consultants lead overall client planning sessions and manage long-term client relationships.

Consultants are often asked by their clients to manage parts of their business on an ongoing basis. You could work with outsourcing professionals to ensure that each part of a client's operations is performing at its optimum level - whether it is managed by the Consultancy or the client.
