Success Story 

The following success story of a global skincare company perfectly describes the benefits of hiring a financial consulting firm.  

  • Challenge: The skincare company was struggling with its inefficient book closing, which took over 40 days to complete, leaving key stakeholders and its private equity sponsor to wait for critical financial reports. Additionally, these reports lacked valuable insights that could guide future business decisions.  
  • Solution: To address the problem, Protiviti conducted a thorough assessment and redesign of the company’s existing book closing, reporting, and forecasting processes. The financial consulting firm pinpointed inefficiencies and areas for improvement. With a focus on transparency and data-driven decision-making, it transformed the client’s processes to meet the increased business demands. 
  • Results: The client’s book closing process was streamlined within 25 days. Inventory closing time was slashed from five days to 4 hours. This newfound efficiency translated into enhanced financial reporting. Monthly reports were enriched with valuable analytics, providing stakeholders with a much clearer picture of the company's financial health. 

What do financial consulting firms do?

Financial consulting firms offer businesses a wide range of services to improve their financial situation and help them succeed. Here’s a breakdown of their core functionalities:

Success Story 

Financial consultant services help businesses thrive and take on opportunities to scale their growth. One prime example is the success story of a leading U.S. asset management firm aspiring for global expansion.  

  • Challenge: The asset management firm’s fragmented financial data systems hindered their aspiration for global expansion. Manual reporting processes lacked agility and provided limited insights for informed decision-making. 
  • Solution: To address these problems, Grant Thornton assessed the company’s needs, defined a clear project plan, and leveraged its finance and industry expertise. It streamlined data, automated reporting, and established data governance to deliver faster, more insightful reports for global expansion. 
  • Results: The collaboration led to the deployment of a new system and it empowered leaders with data-driven decisions. Comprehensive dashboards offered insights across all business units. Reporting became a breeze with centralized access to data from all 16 units in a single app. The lead time was reduced by 60%, freeing up analyst with over 50 hours monthly. 

What is the difference between a financial consultant and a financial advisor?

A financial consultant and a financial advisor differ in their approach to your finances. Financial consultants offer more specialized advice on specific areas of finance, such as investments, taxes, or tax optimization. On the other hand, financial advisors take a holistic view; they analyze your income, expenses, debts, investments, and long-term goals. 

Below is a more elaborate description of their differences: 

Financial consultant  Financial advisor 
Services are specialized, such as risk management, business planning, and tax planning  Services are more personalized, such as retirement planning, estate planning, and insurance planning 
Caters mostly to companies and organizations  Caters mostly to individuals 
Need specialized certifications based on areas of expertise like Series 7 and Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC) licenses  Have more general certifications like the Certified Financial Planner license 
Shorter span of engagement based on the length of the service acquired  Longer commitment to its clients especially when handling clients’ long-term goals 

It’s important to remember that these are general differences rather than strict requirements for each role. There can be exceptions and some overlap in how financial advisors and consultants operate, but their involvement depends entirely on the project scope. 

How much do financial consultant services cost?

Financial consultant services cost between $590 and $10,200 annually based on $50,000 and $1million investment accounts. This price range may also vary depending on the type of service, consultant’s experience and credentials, complexity of the project, and the location of the financial consulting firm. 

Here is a breakdown of the most common cost structures of financial consultants: 

Cost structure  Price 
Hourly rate  $150-$350 
Monthly retainer  $600-$40,000 
Assets-based fees  1% of Assets Under Management (AUM) per year 

On DesignRush, the top 50 financial consulting firms charge an average of 107$ per hour. Roughly 16.7% of financial consultant services on DesignRush accept projects under $1,000, while 4.6% require a $50,000+ minimum budget. 

Why should I hire a financial consulting firm?

Hiring a financial consulting firm can streamline the complexities of investments and taxes. Beyond that, it elevates your business through specialized market expertise, enhanced strategic planning, reduced financial risk, improved financial efficiency and profitability, and access to a wide partner network, enabling you to create more informed decisions while moving your business to success. 

More specifically, you should hire a financial consulting firm because it: 

  • Offers a deep understanding of current market trends and economic factors that might affect your industry.  
  • Analyzes your financial data to uncover trends, identify strengths and weaknesses, and provide data-driven insights to inform crucial business decisions.
  • Identifies potential threats to your financial stability and proposes risk management strategies. This could encompass anything from cash flow forecasting to hedging strategies. By proactively addressing potential risks, financial consulting firms help you avoid costly financial pitfalls and ensure your business remains financially secure. 
  • Analyzes your spending and identify areas for cost optimization. This can involve streamlining operations, negotiating better deals with vendors, or identifying tax-saving opportunities. Financial consultants can also optimize your financial processes and reduce unnecessary expenses, helping your business achieve greater profitability. 
  • Often has established relationships with investment firms, insurance companies, and other financial service providers. This network can offer you access to a wider range of investment options and potentially more favorable rates. 

Success Story 

Below’s success story of a financial exchange operating company is a prime example of why you should hire a financial consulting firm.  

  • Challenge: Struggling with outdated systems and manual processes, the client found it difficult to consolidate financials, reconcile accounts, and close the books on time. These limitations made it difficult to accurately track expenses and get real-time insights which are critical roadblocks to producing new products and acquisitions. 
  • Solution: To address this problem, Withum conducted a technology assessment, pinpointing the need for a robust and up-to-date enterprise resource planning (ERP) software solution. The team recommended Oracle NetSuite and guided the client throughout procurement and implementation, laying the groundwork for future functionalities to be added in later phases. 
  • Results: The partnership resulted in the successful Phase 1 NetSuite Go-Liva on time and within budget. It boosted efficiency and reduced manual work. The enhanced data visibility provided real-time insights for the client and helped it scale its business in the long-term.
