Clearsulting's Josh Clark named 2026 Top Consultant by Consulting Magazine.

Clearsulting's Josh Clark named 2026 Top Consultant by Consulting Magazine. June 26, 2026 This recognition reflects the firm's growing momentum and leadership as a trusted advisor and technology partner driving end-to-end finance transformation. Clearsulting, a global digital finance consulting firm that drives enterprise transformation by connecting technology, processes, and people, today celebrated that Josh Clark, Head of North America Markets, has been named a 2026 Top Consultant by Consulting Magazine. The magazine recognized this year's Top Consultants honorees at an awards ceremony in New York on June 25. Established in 2000, the program recognizes leaders shaping the future of consulting through innovation, leadership, and measurable client impact. Among the 90 honorees recognized this year, Clark was named in the Technology and Digital Consulting category for his ability to lead complex, end-to-end finance transformation initiatives that deliver measurable business outcomes. "I'm incredibly honored to be recognized this year alongside such an accomplished group of consultants," said Clark. "The work I'm proudest of has always started with a simple question: what does the client actually need? Not what's trending, not what worked with the last client, but what will genuinely make a difference for them. This recognition reflects that approach, and more importantly, it reflects our teams who do the hard work of making change happen." Clark's recognition is driven by his impact across clients and the business. Under his leadership, Clearsulting's Canadian region has grown revenue by more than 500%, expanding its presence across key industries including energy, retail, and technology. He has led implementations for more than 30 organizations, delivering results such as faster close cycles, double-digit gains in forecast accuracy, and millions in working capital improvements while strengthening client relationships and driving sustained regional growth. Clark's approach starts with clearly defining objectives and designing solutions tailored to their specific environment, not replicating what was done elsewhere. This focus on practical, adoptable outcomes has been central to support Clearsulting's clients in achieving their goals. "Josh's recognition reflects the impact he has across our people, our clients and our firm," said David Courtade, President of North America at Clearsulting. "He brings together deep expertise, strong leadership, and a relentless focus on execution, consistently delivering results that matter. More importantly, he operates with care and integrity, building trust with those he works with." Clearsulting helps CFOs and finance leaders transform operations across the Office of the CFO by connecting people, processes, technology, data, and controls into a unified finance ecosystem. With deep expertise across every function of finance, the firm goes beyond traditional siloed consulting models to deliver transformation that works in practice and not just in strategy. By working side-by-side with clients, Clearsulting designs and implements scalable solutions that improve operations, strengthen confidence in finance data, and drive meaningful business impact. Clark's recognition comes during a period of strong momentum for Clearsulting. The firm was recently named Kyriba North America Partner of the Year for the second consecutive year and received Coupa's Breakout Partner of the Year - Americas award, underscoring its strength in delivering technology-enabled transformation. Clearsulting was also named BlackLine Partner of the Year in North America for the sixth consecutive year and Partner of the Year in EMEA, further reinforcing its global leadership in finance transformation. Additionally, the firm was honored in May as one of The Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2026 for its commitment to building a high-performing, people-first culture.
