In short
In a professional services firm the largest cost is people, so external spend often goes unmanaged for years. It is usually a meaningful number by the time anyone looks: technology, subscriptions, property, travel, marketing and contractors, bought by different partners and teams with no single view.
What organisations here usually need help with
- Software and subscription spend that has grown without anyone owning it
- Property and facilities commitments made at a different headcount
- Contractor and associate arrangements with inconsistent terms
- Client contracts with obligations the delivery team never sees
- Growth by acquisition leaving duplicated suppliers and systems
