Just curious, is there any consulting firm which specialized in banking industry? Probably not as big as BCG/McK, but have been in this area for decades and operates in several countries. Can you name some of them?

Thanks

The bigs all do a lot of stuff for banking (NYC offices). I know that a few have a lot of their practice aimed at some finance areas, such as Parthenon does lots of PE. Didn't look at consulting but I am sure there are more out there. Parthenon just has a great rep and benefits...though when you work with banks you work banker like hours.

From what I have read on various boards, Oliver Wyman's financial services consulting group has a pretty decent reputation.

Oliver Wyman is probably the most well known, however there are also some specialized P/E consulting firms and finance firms in general.
For example, Gotham Consulting Partners is a PE consulting firm, though they are a lot smaller than MBB and OW. MMGPartners does finance consulting but typically works with stock exchanges, however they also have had large banks as clients.

I came across a company I really liked: First Annapolis. They're a small but growing consulting firm specializing in payments. They do a lot of risk and M&A stuff, and have a minimal travel policy. I really liked the folks I met there.
