Business & Professional Services Compensation Consulting
Aligning Compensation with Individual Expertise Means Company Success
Professional services firms provide a broad range of services to client companies. Companies in this sector are highly client- or project-oriented. Engaging the proper talent across the organization is essential, along with designing compensation plans that help to attract, engage, and retain talent in an industry where turnover is common.
Properly compensating subject matter experts requires strategic use of market data to align compensation with the expertise an individual brings to their position.
Key Business Trends & Insights
Per VerticalIQ data, the private sector’s momentum is expected to keep the annual growth rate above 5%, however, some firms may have a harder time if broader geopolitical or economic trends impact their clients.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that employment grew from 2021 to 2023 but has tapered off since then. Pandemic-era over hiring and efficiencies from AI have reduced the need for firms to hire new employees, while existing ones may now be more productive. Additionally, the “Great Resignation,” which saw record numbers of workers leaving their companies, has ended with many workers staying with their current employer.
