IT services Consulting book-to-bill measures Consulting new bookings relative to Consulting revenue.

Accenture reported $40.86B of Consulting new bookings in fiscal 2026 and a 1.1 book-to-bill.

A ratio above one indicates bookings exceeded revenue

The ratio suggests new consulting work booked during the year was modestly above recognized Consulting revenue.

It does not establish how quickly those bookings will convert to revenue.

Consulting and Managed Services have different booking profiles

Managed Services reported a 1.2 book-to-bill.

Compare it with Managed Services book-to-bill and Consulting local-currency revenue growth.
