At least the federal government loves to contract McKinsey, so a lot of the profit still ends up outside of the country. I didn't find any quickly accessible data on the state government in Schleswig-Holstein, though.

I have no idea how you come up with that corollary. All big traditional consultancies are partnerships and any profit is distributed among the partners. If a country (e.g. Germany) makes a loss, then profits from other countries will flow into the country to make up for this.
