Charlotte is at the center of the nation's fifth largest urban center with almost 6.5 million people within a 100-mile radius of the city. Additionally, Charlotte is the nation's eleventh fastest growing city and was ranked by Fortune magazine as the country's most business friendly location.
Expertise
The Charlotte location, located on the 53rd floor of the Bank of America headquarters (Charlotte's tallest building), was founded in 1996 with the objective of serving leading organizations in the Carolinas and surrounding states. With nearly twenty-five consultants, the small office gives all members the opportunity to play key roles in recruiting, client development, and community activities. A strong local client base keeps most consultants close to home, and the collegial atmosphere is conducive to frequent social interactions.
With eight Fortune 500 headquarters, Charlotte's economy is vibrant and growing. It is the second largest financial center in the U.S., behind New York. The region is home to clients in the energy, high-tech, transportation, health care, and manufacturing industries. While Charlotte has historically had a manufacturing base, there is also a growing number of high-tech startups, many in IT, but surprisingly also in optical components and semiconductors.
Lifestyle
"Uptown" Charlotte is surrounded by historic tree-lined neighborhoods, offering an array of convenient yet affordable housing choices. Most consultants live within a few short miles of the office.
