Booz Allen Hamilton is a consulting and technology firm that helps the U.S. government solve complex problems. Its main customers are federal agencies like the Department of Defense, intelligence community, and civilian agencies such as the IRS and Department of Homeland Security. The company provides services like cybersecurity, data analytics, artificial intelligence, and IT systems management.

Booz Allen earns money by winning long-term government contracts, where it charges for the labor and expertise of its roughly 34,000 employees. Nearly all of its revenue comes from the United States federal government, making it one of the largest government IT contractors in the country. This deep reliance on government spending is both its moat — agencies rarely switch contractors mid-project — and its main risk, since budget cuts or continuing resolutions in Congress can slow new contract awards and pressure revenue growth.
