Ranking
TOP-10 of business advisors

Information agency Credinform has prepared a ranking of the Russian companies engaged in business consulting. The largest enterprises (TOP-10 and TOP-100) in terms of annual revenue were selected according to the data from the Statistical Register and the Federal Tax Service for the available periods (2018-2020). Then the companies were ranged by net profit ratio (Table 1). The selection and analysis were based on the data from the Information and Analytical system Globas.

Net profit ratio (%) is calculated as a ratio of net profit (loss) to sales revenue. The ratio reflects the company’s level of sales profit.

The ratio doesn’t have the standard value. It is recommended to compare the companies within the industry or the change of a ratio in time for a certain company. The negative value of the ratio indicates about net loss. The higher is the ratio value, the better the company operates.

For the most full and fair opinion about the company’s financial position the whole set of financial indicators and ratios should be taken into account.
