Deloitte is emerging as the biggest early loser from a Trump administration push to axe spending on consultants, ahead of a Monday deadline for the companies to offer price cuts and other concessions.
The Big Four accounting and consulting firm has had at least 129 contracts terminated or slimmed down, according to a Financial Times analysis of data published by Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (Doge). The figure is more than double that of any other consultancy.
Deloitte is one of 10 consulting firms that have been ordered to submit a detailed plan to save the government money, either by cutting prices or suggesting contracts that are not “mission critical” for an agency.
