FTI Consulting (SC) Inc. is an independent global business advisory firm founded in 1982 in Annapolis, Maryland, and headquartered in Washington, DC. The firm employs more than 8,100 people across 84 cities in 32 countries and territories, and works with organizations managing change, mitigating risk, and resolving disputes. Its client base spans private equity, banking and financial services, multinational corporations, and law firms.
For investors evaluating portfolio companies through periods of stress or transition, the firm's Corporate Finance & Restructuring practice is the most directly relevant: it covers restructuring, insolvency, and related corporate finance advisory. Around this sits a set of practices that map onto the diligence and value-creation agenda - Forensic & Litigation Consulting, which traces the firm's origins as a forensic consulting business; Economic Consulting, providing economic analysis and expert advice on complex business and legal matters; Technology Solutions, supporting advisory and dispute needs; and Strategic Communications, advising clients through crisis and change.
The firm is organized around multidisciplinary teams deployed to dynamic and complex situations, with an operating model built for rapid response. Its engagement profile - crisis and transformation advisory, restructuring and insolvency, disputes and investigations - makes it a counterpart for sponsors and lenders at the points in an investment cycle where governance, financial performance, and exit readiness are most acutely tested.
