How is CRA different from other consulting firms?

We offer careers in three areas of consulting—finance, litigation and applied economics, and business consulting as well as a workplace with an entrepreneurial and collegial spirit.

What kind of travel can I expect?

Unlike many other consulting firms, the work in many CRA business practices does not require continual travel.

If you work in this area, it is likely you would be expected to travel three-to-four days a week.

Are there opportunities in any international locations?

Our international locations tend to hire locally within their regions, but there are numerous staff at all levels that have transferred to international locations within our global network of offices.
