Accenture pays a Management Consulting Manager a median base salary of $168,300 and a Management Consulting Senior Manager $206,800 in US H-1B filings from January 2025 to June 2026.

Where the numbers come from.

H-1B filings show base salary only: no bonus, signing bonus, profit sharing or benefits. Entry roles come from Accenture's own students page.

How we got these numbers

US employers that hire someone on an H-1B visa must first file a Labor Condition Application with the US Department of Labor, stating the job title, work site and the wage they will pay. The DOL publishes every filing in its LCA disclosure data. We read the filings through h1bdata.info, a free search of that data, because the DOL's own quarterly files run to hundreds of MB. We read them on October 25, 2026.

Filing window: filings submitted from January 2025 to June 2026, the latest the DOL has published.
Filings counted: 572 across the rows shown, one per DOL case number.
Job titles matched:
- Management Consultant: "Management Consultant" (6)
- Management Consulting Manager: "Management Consulting Manager" (18)
- Management Consulting Senior Manager: "Management Consulting Senior Manager" (9)
- Management Consulting Senior Principal: "Management Consulting Senior Principal" (6)

Median: the middle filed salary for that title. Range: the 10th to 90th percentile, so a few unusual filings don't stretch it.
Base salary only. An H-1B filing states the base wage. Bonuses, signing bonuses, profit sharing and benefits are not in it.
Who is in it. Only roles filed for visa holders, at every US office. A filing is the wage the employer committed to pay, not proof of a hire.
Left out for too few filings (under 3): Strategy Consultant, Strategy Manager, Strategy Principal Director.
Accenture files under Accenture LLP. Only the Management Consulting, Strategy and Business Architecture families and the plain "Management Consultant" title are counted. Software, engineering, data and other technology families are left out.
