Benchmark your KPIs: Consultancy BenchPress 2026 

Consultancy BenchPress is the definitive benchmarking survey for consulting firms in the UK&I. More than 1,000 consultancies have completed it over the past six years, creating the market’s most trusted dataset for leaders who want to measure success, spot opportunities and plan growth with confidence.

The 2026 survey is now open. It takes about 15 minutes to complete, all responses are anonymous and it’s an opportunity to reflect on your figures, priorities and strategy.

What’s new in 2026

This year we have pulled together a ‘greatest hits’ set of the topics you ask for most, so you can compare like-for-like and take clear actions in 2026.

• Financial performance and resilience
  Revenue growth, margin, profit, overheads and cash in the bank, so you can see where you sit and what to tune.
• Pricing and commercial model
  How firms price, use options and discount, plus day rates, utilisation by role and measuring client ROI.
• New business and marketing engine
  Real new business blockers, where qualified leads come from, marketing investment, sales culture and the KPIs leaders track.
• Client mix and account management
  Typical client value and length, proportion of revenue from your largest client, NPS cadence and the maturity of your account planning.
• Growth strategy and focus
  How clear and communicated your plan is, the routes successful firms are backing, and the single biggest opportunity for growth.
• AI adoption and impact
  Where AI is used, what foundations exist, investment levels, financial impact and the biggest blockers to ROI.
