The company hired an external business consultant to reduce costs.
This long word can be easily broken down: it consists of 'Unternehmen' (company) and 'Berater' (consultant/advisor). The '-s-' in between is a linking element that connects the two words. So it is literally a consultant for companies.
Als Unternehmensberater reist er durch ganz Deutschland.
As a business consultant, he travels all over Germany.
The word belongs to the word family of the verbs 'unternehmen' (to undertake, to run a company) and 'beraten' (to advise). If you know these verbs, you immediately understand the role of an 'Unternehmensberater' (business consultant).
Sie lässt sich von einem Experten beraten, bevor sie ihr Unternehmen gründet.
She gets advice from an expert before starting her company.
In a professional context, a business consultant is typically 'engagiert' (hired), 'beauftragt' (commissioned), or 'eingeschaltet' (brought in). You yourself can 'als Unternehmensberater arbeiten' (work as a business consultant).
Für die Umstrukturierung wurde ein externer Unternehmensberater beauftragt.
