5 Reasons Why Deloitte Consultants Travel So Much

The majority of Deloitte consultants will spend a lot of their time traveling. But why is this? And how much travel do they actually do?

Deloitte consultants will often travel several times a month , often for days at a time. They travel to visit their clients in their locations, attend training and conferences, and attend business meetings.

When I’ve been researching how to get into consulting, the amount of travel required seems to be close to the top of lots of people’s agendas. It’s both a good and bad thing, depending on your viewpoint – a way of seeing the world, or a barrier to your work-life balance.

The main 5 reasons that Deloitte consultants travel so much are:

• To perform audits
• To conduct client meetings
• To attend conferences
• Training and workshops
• Project implementation

In this post, I’ll take a look at:

• The 5 top reasons why Deloitte consultants travel
• How much do Deloitte consultants travel

Do Deloitte Consultants Travel?

Almost all Deloitte consultants will travel to some extent, with some spending many weeks or even months of a year on the road.

Travel is pressurized and work-focused, and there is often little scope for sightseeing. This is business travel – staying in hotels, business meetings, meeting clients, and all that kind of thing.

Here are the top 5 reasons why Deloitte consultants travel:

5 Reasons Why Deloitte Consultants Travel

1. performing audits.

Performing audits is a key role of Deloitte.

Deloitte audits many of the world’s largest multinational corporations. Many of the Fortune 500 are on their books. (Source)

Audits require on-site visits to perform some of the following tasks:

• Verification of financial records
• Verification of other data
• Gathering information about a business

Deloitte consultants will regularly require to travel to their clients for auditing purposes. This will be both domestically and internationally.

The exact number of trips for this purpose depends on:

• The sector you are working in

2. Client Meetings

A big role of consultants is truly getting to know how their client’s businesses work.

A great vehicle for doing this is traveling to meet clients in businesses. Consultants will meet with:

• Stakeholders

Traveling to meet clients in person can really help to increase trust and build relationships.

The distance of travel and frequency will really depend on the nature of the role of the consultant and the project they are working on.

3. Conferences And Networking Events

Deloitte is a truly global organization, which operates in around 150 countries throughout the world.

Consultants will often be required to travel to conferences and meetings. These conferences allow them to:

• Network with their peers
• Hear from experts about their niche of expertise
• Learn about the latest industry trends and technologies

Sometimes consultants will also get the opportunity to speak at these events or showcase what they have done.

A big focus of these events is networking. It really helps to build your power team of players in the industry.

4. Training And Workshops

Deloitte offers extensive training to its employees to keep the skills of its workforce high, and also to help with rapid progression up the corporation hierarchy for high-achieving staff.

Deloitte’s training program is geared toward helping staff:

• Acquire new skills
• Enhance their expertise
• Increase their knowledge
• Stay up-to-date with industry developments

Consultants will often have to travel to workshops or training sessions, either domestically or internationally.

Deloitte also offers training in the form of:

• Online sessions
• On-the-job training
• Mentoring programs

5. Project Implementation

Probably the biggest source of travel on this list is project implementation.

Consultants will often need to be onsite when a client is implementing a project. The consultant will be ensuring that it is running smoothly.

Traveling to the site will help the consultant to:

• See the business systems and practices firsthand
• Speak to relevant employees about systems
• Gather paperwork and data

How Much Deloitte Consultants Travel

The amount of travel that a consultant will be required to do will vary and will depend on a range of factors, such as:

• The sector they are working in
• What project they are working on at a particular point and where that business is located
• Their particular role

However, in general, travel is common and will probably be somewhere in the following spectrum:

Some consultants will be more towards the lighter end of the spectrum, with maybe one trip per month, while others may be towards the higher end, with extensive travel each month.

As a real-world example of this, consultants who work on audit engagements need to often travel more regularly to work on-site.

Consultants who work on strategic projects, on the other hand, may be able to work primarily from the Deloitte offices or even remotely .

Deloitte Travel Vs Regional Firms

You may be interested in the different levels of travel of Deloitte consultants compared to regional firms .

In general, consultants at the Big 4 (Deloitte, PwC, EY , and KPMG) will travel more than consultants at regional firms.

This is because of the size and scope of the Big 4 companies. These corporations operate across multiple continents and work with businesses that are complex and multinational.

Regional firms, on the other hand, often offer services that are:

• Small or medium-sized businesses
• Are targeting a focused niche or part of an industry

Regional firms may also access more local training and conferences, and have a more geographically targeted client base than the Big 4 firms, such as Deloitte.

For some people, extensive travel seems like the dream ticket.

However, for others, it resonates with a lack of work-life balance.

New Deloitte Report Maps Climate Change’s Triple Threat to Travel Industry

Deloitte + Skift

September 6th, 2024 at 10:00 AM EDT

A growing wave of environmental pressures is pushing the travel industry toward rapid transformation. Deloitte's latest report offers insights into how companies can adapt or risk extinction in an increasingly eco-conscious market.

This sponsored content was created in collaboration with a Skift sponsor.

Navigating the implications of climate change will likely be among the travel industry’s biggest challenges in the coming decade. A combination of escalating environmental regulations, rising consumer and corporate demand for sustainability, and travel destinations’ increasing vulnerability to extreme weather call for greater strategic attention to environmental impact.

For an industry on the brink of significant change, climate-related pressures are among three major concerns leaders must contend with, according to a new Deloitte report that also highlights the potential of artificial intelligence along with big shifts in the demographic makeup of the traveling public. 

Younger, tech-savvy, and socially conscious generations are set to surpass boomers in terms of spending and influence within the industry. While boomers remain a lucrative demographic, they are beginning to age out of frequent travel. Interest in sustainable travel is consequently growing as millennials and Gen Z become dominant consumer groups. More young travelers say they seek lower-emission flights and hotels with sustainability certifications. They demand not just promises but precise, actionable commitments to sustainability that can guide their travel decisions. Compared to older generations, Gen Z and millennials are more likely to reward the brands that earn their trust with their approach to sustainability.

Regulatory pressures add another layer of complexity. A few notable laws have been enacted or proposed to address the travel industry’s carbon footprint. Popular support for such regulations will likely grow, posing hurdles for travel companies’ day-to-day operations.

Additionally, the physical reality of climate change directly impacts the viability of some travel destinations. Increasingly frequent and severe weather events, such as heat waves and hurricanes, are forcing the industry to rethink traditional travel seasons and how they prioritize traditionally popular destinations. 

As these factors converge, travel companies face an imperative to innovate and develop resilient strategies to withstand these pressures and secure a competitive advantage in the evolving market. 

A new report by Deloitte provides key observations into how travel companies can navigate this new reality. As the landscape shifts, the industry’s ability to pivot to a sustainable tourism model will likely dictate its future success and relevance in an increasingly conscientious market. 

This report from Deloitte provides a comprehensive analysis of the travel industry’s evolving landscape, with actionable insights for industry leaders on navigating climate-related pressures to ensure long-term sustainability, customer loyalty, and competitive advantage. The report also explores how exponential technology like AI and demographic changes are shaping new opportunities.

In this report, you’ll find:

• An analysis of the environmental challenges facing the travel industry.
• Insights into growing regulatory pressures and their implications on industry practices.
• A look at travelers’ shifting priorities and the role of brand trust in capturing the younger travel market.
• How climate change is affecting the viability and appeal of travel destinations, with rising temperatures, extreme weather events, and shorter seasons altering travel patterns.
• Strategies for travel brands to respond to climate change, with actionable insights on adopting long-term solutions.
• Other major changes affecting the travel industry such as technological advancements and demographic shifts.
