Maybe I generalized too much...I'm sure they do exist, but I think they are needles in the haystack. And yes, there are definitely plenty of smaller alternatives to the Big 5 (I used to work at one), but unfortunately those types of companies are under extreme pressure right now. Regional constraints are being blown away pretty quickly in the name of grabbing as much revenue as possible.
Finally, be sure to get a clear definition of 'regional' when you do come across a company offering such an arrangement. Your definition may be within 100 miles of home, while one consulting company's 'central region' stretches from Toronto to Mexico City. |

Just be careful with regional consultanting companies. They may be only one or two clients deep. It wasn't pretty when I worked for a regional consulting firm and they lost the client which supplied 40-60% of the company's revenue.
