Advisory and Consulting

In Deals, you’ll provide strategic advice and support to clients in areas such as mergers and acquisitions, divestitures, and restructuring. We help clients maximise the value they gain from their most complex and significant transactions. 

If you join us as in Deals, you could complete the ACA or ICAS professional qualification. For more detail on these, please see the Professional Qualifications section on this page.

In Management Consulting, we use our understanding of how business works and how technology can create competitive advantage to help clients deliver profitable growth. That might mean helping businesses understand, and create better experiences for, their customers and employees. It might mean optimising financial management, driving operational efficiency, advising on workforce effectiveness or bringing together a range of interrelated projects to deliver broad strategic outcomes. 

Throughout, you’ll learn how to provide business leaders with the data and insight they need to make smarter decisions. And you’ll develop strategies and solutions that streamline processes, improve productivity and drive business performance. 

In Sustainability, you’ll provide guidance and support to organisations facing up to the greatest challenge of our age. Our Sustainability teams integrate environmental, social, economic, and governance considerations into business strategies and operations, managing sustainability risks, ensuring accurate reporting and identifying opportunities to drive positive social and environmental impact.

Please note, in certain roles within this business area you may need to have studied a sustainability related module at university. 

In Technology Consulting, you’ll use your deep understanding of the world of technology to help clients to select, implement and support the business application software they use to run their business, do their work and communicate with each other. Often as part of a broader business transformation, or perhaps in the context of a Mergers and Acquisitions transaction or restructuring event. Assessing legacy systems and analysing client needs, you’ll seamlessly integrate software solutions that help organisations meet their strategic goals, while providing the training and support their people need to get more out of innovative new tools and applications.

In economics consulting, you will apply economic principles and analytical techniques to offer advice and guidance to businesses, public agencies, or organisations. Your work involves conducting research, analysing data, and interpreting economic trends to help clients make informed decisions on various aspects such as financial strategies, market dynamics, policy implications, and resource allocation. Working in this area, you will be responsible for providing valuable insights into economic conditions, helping clients navigate challenges, optimise performance, and achieve their goals in a dynamic and ever-changing economic landscape.

Please note that to work in Economics Consulting, 50% of your degree modules need to be Economics based. 

In Workforce Consulting, you'll help leading UK and international employers maximise and future-proof their biggest asset - their people. Providing big picture advice on human resources, learning and development, talent management, and organisational development, you might be defining people strategies, advising on workforce effectiveness, guiding senior executives on global personal tax obligations, implementing cutting-edge HR technology, or helping clients navigate complex people & culture issues on an M&A deal. Or you could be working with clients to unlock their people potential by fostering a culture of continuous learning and professional growth. You'll work across various sectors, learning about employment tax risk, cost reduction, and employer social responsibility.
