Kaiser Associates is a leading global strategy consulting firm with offices in Washington, DC and London.

Kaiser delivers Growth Strategy and M&A Support to a selective and elite client base, which includes 5 of Fortune's Top 20 "World's Most Admired Companies". We are proud to be recognized in Vault's "Top Consulting 30", "Best Consulting Firms for Interactions with Clients", and "Best Consulting Firms for Retail Consulting".

Kaiser offers a distinctive consulting experience that combines the client prestige and diverse opportunity of a large firm with the close-knit community and entrepreneurial culture of a small firm. With a focus on strategy, we offer development opportunities, accessible senior leadership, and an accelerated path to partner. For decades, Kaiser challenged the heavy travel paradigm, recognizing that many activities are best performed in Kaiser's own offices and without any travel to the client site, creating a healthier work-life balance for our consultants and greater value for cost to our clients.
