What does it take to build a consulting team in India today?

India’s Big Four firms alone earned close to ₹38,800 crore in FY24, and consulting brought in the largest share of it. To keep growing, these firms are adding offshore delivery teams, new practices and new offices in cities beyond the usual metros. Every one of those needs leaders. And the people they need, the tax directors, IT audit managers and risk advisory heads who can run a client relationship as well as a review, are some of the most contested hires in the market.

TRUSTKLUB partners with marquee consulting firms, CPA firms and consulting and analytics organisations to build teams across tax, audit, risk, advisory, technology and analytics. Our model sits between a high-volume contingency agency and a slow, rigid retained search firm. We bring the speed of the first and the depth and discretion of the second. Over 24 years of permanent search, we have completed more than 10,000 successful onboardings, and 80% of our revenue comes from repeat business.

Which consulting organisations do we hire for?

Marquee Consulting Firms

These are the Big Four and other global professional services firms with large India practices in tax, audit and assurance, risk advisory, deal advisory and technology consulting. Many of them run offshore delivery centres that serve US, UK and global clients from Indian cities. Our searches here often involve setting up a new vertical or a leadership team in a new location.

CPA Firms

US accounting firms and their India offices handle US business tax, partnership tax, individual tax and offshore audit work. They need professionals who know US tax and accounting rules and who can work in step with onshore teams across time zones.

Consulting & Analytics Organisations

This group covers firms that sell data analytics, risk analytics, investment research and technology consulting. Big Four firms increasingly want hybrid talent that brings both consulting and analytics skills, and these organisations compete for the same people. So we map analytics talent across consulting, BFSI and technology companies rather than one industry alone.

What does TRUSTKLUB bring to consulting hiring?

Depth across consulting practices

We hire across tax, audit and assurance, risk consulting, financial and deal advisory, finance and accounting, technology consulting, cybersecurity and data analytics. Our consultants understand the difference between a US partnership tax role and an Indian indirect tax role, and they screen for it.

Leadership teams built from scratch

Greenfield practices need a full leadership bench in a short time. For one Big Four client setting up a tax and assurance vertical in a new location, we delivered a shortlist of more than 25 candidates within 10 weeks.

Mapping beyond the usual firms

We map talent across consulting, Big Four and CPA firms, and in adjacent industries such as BFSI and technology. Professionals are increasingly moving from tech and BFSI into consulting, and adjacent sourcing often closes niche mandates faster.

Assessment for client-facing roles

Technical skill is only half of a consulting hire. We assess technical capability, client-facing ability, leadership potential and cultural fit before a profile reaches you.

Counter-offer management

Senior consulting candidates in high-demand roles often receive aggressive counter-offers during their notice period. Our post-offer engagement framework, with weekly check-ins and early work on retention triggers, secured 100% placement completion across high-risk candidates in 4 to 8 week notice periods.

Pan-India expansion support

We support clients setting up new offices across India and help them hire the teams to run them. Our search team knows where senior tax, assurance and advisory talent is willing to relocate, and where it is not.

Planning a new practice or a new office?

Tell us about the team you need to build. We will map the talent across consulting firms and adjacent industries and share a realistic view of the market before the search begins.

Frequently Asked Questions

We look at how a candidate built their experience. Consulting professionals are used to multiple clients, billable delivery and advisory conversations, while industry professionals usually bring deeper ownership of one business. Both can work in consulting roles, and we assess client-facing ability and cultural fit so you know which you are getting.

We start managing counter-offer risk before the candidate resigns. Our consulting search team maps what motivates each candidate beyond compensation, stays in regular touch through the notice period and involves your leadership team where it helps. This approach has helped us complete placements even with candidates facing aggressive retention offers.
