Boutique Consultancy?
Connecting Procurement Leaders with New Zealand's Boutique Consultancy Expertise
Supporting New Zealand's Independent and Boutique Consultancy Sector
We’ve put together a short self-assessment survey to help independent and boutique consultancies see how they are turning their Flywheel.
The Flywheel a simple way of looking at how consultancies generate momentum over time. It takes just 5–10 minutes and gives you a snapshot of your strengths and opportunities across the key stages of your business.
The NZBCA was set up in September 2024 and is an association of New Zealand based locally owned, independent, small-medium or niche consultancies. Our network includes 90 consultancies who together lead over 1000 consultants.
The NZBCA provides networking and partnership opportunities, advisory services, consultancy-focused education through webinars and our knowledge base and advocates for the boutique sector with government and industry.
In September 2025 we launched the NZBCA Marketplace, a new way for organisations and procurement professionals to engage high-quality boutique consultancy talent. If you are a client interested in accessing our trial check out the Marketplace page
The New Zealand Boutique Consultancy Association (NZBCA) was founded to advance its members' interests by fostering collaboration and connection, and by advocating for the sector.
For too long, the consulting industry has been dominated by large firms, often overshadowing the exceptional value that independent boutique consultancies in New Zealand provide.
Boutiques are in the right place at the right time. In New Zealand, the Government and wider industry are are making moves to remove the barriers for SMEs in the procurement process and the tendency to just go with the old names.
We believe the New Zealand economy and business sector would greatly benefit from embracing the growing and highly capable small and medium consultancy sector. This sector offers a more cost-effective, flexible and ethical alternative.
