Most of these firms are impossible to find, since they are small and private. Try these approaches:
--Flip through Kennedy Information's Directory of Management Consultants at your local library or career center
--Some of these firms list unti Google or Yahoo--check there and sift through the many firms to find ones in the geographic regions that interest you
--Call consultants you know and ask them for smaller players
--Most smaller firms (not all, but most) are boutiques with an industry specialty. Go to the Internet sources for these industries (in energy, for example www.energycentral.com) to see listings of consulting firms
This will take a LOT of research. It might help if you have 1-2 other friends looking with you so you can divide and conquer.
Good luck! |

If you have any nouse whatsoever you would know that it is exceptionally easy to identify small consulting firms.
In fact anybody who wants to be a consultant who can't research who the smaller consultancies are that are operating in the field in which they wish to work, probably will not do very well in consultancy.
Identify which associations are relevant to the type of consultancy pou wish to enter. Then get a list of member firms from the association or go to your local business library which should hold much of this information too. the internet can supply names of very small one-man band type consultancies if you are prepared to consider working for one of these.
