Profile

Huron Consulting Group Inc.HURNIndustrials

Sells consulting, managed-services, and digital work across Healthcare, Education, and Commercial segments. The business is centered in the US, serves clients across several industries, and has grown through organic demand and tuck-in acquisitions.

Works through Healthcare, Education, and Commercial segments, combining industry consulting, managed services, and digital delivery. Healthcare is the largest segment; Education serves colleges, universities, research institutes, nonprofits, and related organizations, while Commercial covers financial services, industrials, energy and utilities, public sector, and other industries.

Originated in Chicago from former Arthur Andersen partners and professionals, then listed on Nasdaq in 2004. Execution depends on senior professional talent, client demand for transformation work, technology partnerships, and continued integration of tuck-in acquisitions.

The business competes in a fragmented professional-services market against consulting firms, accounting-firm practices, technology-partner divisions, specialty advisors, and clients' internal teams. A 2009 accounting restatement remains the main historical governance event, followed by management changes and additional controls.
