Most of it!
And the time you are not working with the data crunching numbers, you are:
Hence, client management skills are equally important.
However, key thing is to be pretty confortable at least with Excel by the time you start, in order to survive -deadlines are super tight-.
Hope it helps!

Hello there,
Consulting's bread and butter is data-drifven problem solving, meaningt that as much as possible, each core issues identified and recommendations formulated need to be based on a certain logic supported by data.
As such, 70-80% of the time is spend on requesting, consolidating, analyzing, and pulling insights from data. Now, there are various kinds of data, numerical data in form of spreadsheets, observational data points, or anecdotes (non-numerical data which involves statements from various sources).
The rest are typically spent to interact and help your client couinterpart in their top-mind issues.
For some projects, more client handling is required, but still we spent the other times mostly to build a sound structure supported by tangible logics and data.
Hope it helps.
Kind regards,
Nathan
Hello,
As other experts said, it depends on the project and on the team. Usually in a team there is a responsible for the excel model and a responsible for the presentation. You will anyway spend on average 70% of the time with excel and powerpoint, half of that handling data.

Hi,
it strongly depends on the project, but they will be your basic tools. You are going to work with these at least 2 hours a day.

Hi,
It really depends on the project. I would say that depending on the day / type of project you will spend 1-5 hours with the client. Rest is internal team brainstorming and coordination and excel / ppt. FYI the day can be 12-18 hours:)
