Distributed (no central office), United States
Toptal is a fully distributed talent network best known for software-developer staffing, but it also runs a genuine, separately screened Management Consulting practice (strategy, corporate strategy, digital/IT strategy, and finance) with its own vetted consultant directory - confirmed real by its January 2026 acquisition of consultant marketplace Graphite specifically to expand that practice.
