Help companies solve big challenges or pursue big opportunities that are outside their expertise, require specialized knowledge, or that they simply don't have the human resources to evaluate and pursue. We help identify those challenges or opportunities, bring the tools and capabilities to do the analysis, and are able to make strong recommendations with relatively little influence from internal politics.

Example: launching a new product is easy for Coca-Cola, they do it every day. Boeing, on the other hand, might launch a new airliner every 10 to 15 years. They have to get everything right. Which region, which airlines, which type of routes, etc.

Example: A good plant manager will make his plan run efficiently. What if you need to optimize a network of 100 plants on five continents?

A little kool,aidy but that's the idea.

Anyone here work at Big D in either the M&A FDD group or the ARA group? I’m a year in having spent 6 months each in my firm’s FDD and accounting advisory groups. I’ve been approached by a Deloitte recruiter for either of those two groups and I’m definitely interested if it means at least a 10-15% pay bump. My main question is about the work life balance. For AAS it was pretty great, didn’t work late much and when I did it was never past 8. FDD was a bit more chaotic.
