Hi I will write this list from the top of my head, some firms might be missing, especially smaller one where you might argue they are Tier 3.

Tier 2:

  • Oliver Wyman
  • Roland Berger
  • Kearney
  • Strategy&

Tier 3:

  • ZEB
  • Simon Kucher
  • Horvath
  • Porsche Consulting
  • Accenture Strategy + Big 4 strategy arms (although they are getting more and more integrated)

Thanks, well I do have a list based on the staufenbiel.de, but there are many companies that are not in the top 20 and are small, thats why this question.

In your Tier 3, B4 Strategy Arm incudes S&...but you place S& as Tier 2.

Correct ranking of Tier 2 should be: Kearney, OW, Accenture Strategy, B4 strategy arm, LEK, Roland Berger, ...

Hi Akshay,

this Vault ranking for Europe is a good start. All of these firms are present in Germany.

If you read German (or use google translate), this website also provides a similar listing:

what surprises me is that "horvath-partners " has no mention in this list, I wonder why?

Hi Akshay,

I truly hope you're able to better research on the job, else consulting isn't for you!

This should help :) https://lmgtfy.app/?q=top+management+consulting+firms+germany

Dear Akshay,

do add to this - in Germany there are also several Inhouse Consultancies that are considered T2/T3, some of them are even directly competing (projects, but also salaries) with T1 consultancies.

You can find details / a ranking in the following:
