A breakout year for BearingPoint

In 2023 we delivered value across the board for our clients and our firm. Substantial growth and strong demand for our services and products helped us to reach €1 billion in revenues for the first time in our history.

    Managing Partner statement

    Our revenue figure for 2023 is clear proof of our growing stature in global consulting - a success we achieved together as a team. With each passing year we’re delivering more value for our clients.

    Demand for our services is as strong as ever. At a time of rapid technological change, we’re helping our clients to stay ahead.

    Our performance in the past year owes much to our focus on our purpose. That purpose comes to life through our values, which we have simplified to make clear what we stand for.
