CluenexFTI Consulting FCN
FTI Consulting scores average on business quality (5.6 of 10). Here is why, in plain words, and what our sealed record shows.
Why it matters
- What FTI Consulting does
FTI Consulting provides expert advisory services helping corporations navigate restructurings, investigations, and disputes, billing clients for specialized professional hours. The firm is expanding its AI-enabled healthcare capabilities by adding senior talent to capture complex technical demand.
- What it does best
FTI dominates dispute resolution and restructuring consulting, backed by a 31.8% gross margin that outpaces peers like AMTM at 10.3%. This edge relies on elite expert networks that are nearly impossible for rivals to replicate quickly.
- The main risk
Heavy reliance on billable expert hours exposes revenue to unexpected macro slowdowns in corporate litigation and restructuring needs, risking high-margin utilization rates.
Quality, check by check
