About Huron Consulting Group Inc.
About Huron Consulting Group Inc.
Huron Consulting Group derived 50% of 2025 consolidated revenues from Healthcare, 30% from Education, and 20% from Commercial segments, serving over 2,000 clients globally with 8,610 full-time professionals. The company's workforce grew from 249 employees at founding in 2002 to approximately 8,610 by December 31, 2025, with roughly 3,500 based in India. The 10 largest clients accounted for approximately 19% of consolidated revenues.
Huron earns fees through two delivery modes — Consulting and Managed Services (management consulting, outsourcing, and revenue cycle management) and Digital (technology implementation, analytics, and software products) — across its three industry segments. In Healthcare, the company serves hospitals, health systems, and academic medical centers on revenue cycle, EHR and ERP implementations, and value-based care strategy; in Education, it serves colleges, universities, and research institutes on finance, operations, and research administration. The company's proprietary Huron Research Suite is described in the 10-K as the leading software suite designed to facilitate and improve research administration service delivery and compliance. In 2025, Huron expanded its Commercial segment through acquisitions including Treliant (financial services consulting) and Wilson Perumal and Company (operations strategy). Competition comes from general management consulting firms, the consulting practices of major accounting firms, and consulting divisions of technology partners including Salesforce, Workday, and Oracle.
Show full overview
Huron's revenue model lacks the durability of long-term contracted backlog: most client contracts run 12 months or less and may be terminated with little or no notice and without penalty, a structure the 10-K identifies explicitly as a source of revenue unpredictability. Declining Healthcare or Education demand — triggered by changes in Medicare or Medicaid reimbursements, reductions in federal research grant spending, or executive actions affecting those industries — could manifest rapidly in reported revenues rather than being buffered by multi-year commitments. The company's approximately 3,500 India-based employees additionally expose operating costs to Indian rupee appreciation against the dollar.
