The Top Consulting Firms in Africa ranking is based on the ranking blueprint by Consultancy.org, our parent platform which conducts similar rankings across all regions and major countries.
The approach follows five key principles:
A key starting point for our ranking is which types of firms can participate (‘scope’). Our Top Consulting Firms ranking centres around management consulting and digital transformation services, including fields which are directly adjacent to these areas.
Professional services that focus purely on the following areas are excluded from the process: Audit, Architecture, Communications, Creative, Engineering, Marketing, Investment Banking, IT managed services, BPO managed services, Public Relations, and Training.
For professional services with a blended service portfolio, such as accounting firms or IT companies with advisory practices, our ranking assesses and ranks the advisory side of the business.
Yes, all firms that have operations in Africa and meet the scope of our blueprint (see previous question) participate in the ranking. The ranking is fully inclusive and there are no fees throughout the process, from entry to qualification.
More than 700 consulting firms were assessed for the latest edition of Top Consulting Firms in Afica.
Our approach takes an industry-wide and 360-degree approach to evaluating firms. We gather insights from clients, from consultants, conduct our own assessments, and draw on all credible information available in the public domain and research.
The ranking is based on two pillars: a survey of clients and consultants, and a capabilities assessment. Both factors have a weighting of 50%.
The views of clients and consultants are captured through Consultancy.org’s survey tool, which is open all year round.
Per 01/01/2025: More than 4,000 client reviews have been submitted by buyers of consulting services, and more than 15,000 peer reviews from consultants have been received across 80+ areas of service.
The capabilities assessment is based on an evaluation of five factors: firm capabilities, industry awards, prestige, thought leadership, and popularity on Consultancy.org. For each factor, data is gathered from Consultancy.org’s extensive database of firm capabilities and track record, from input received from consulting firms, and from credible external sources.
Firms that score above the threshold for ranking entry are included in the Top Consulting Firms in Africa list, with winners sorted across five levels: Diamond, Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze. Within each level, consultancies are sorted based on their average score, however, note that differences within a level can be negligible.
Firms that do not meet the threshold are excluded from the ranking. Across our rankings, over 80% of the advisory firms assessed do not make the ranking.

Consultancy.org’s ranking methodology is based on two main pillars: data from surveys, and a capabilities assessment. In short, it means that your firm did rank well enough on these pillars to included.
