Exhibit 99.3

HURON CONSULTING GROUP INC.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following unaudited pro forma financial information reflects the estimated effect of the acquisition of Wellspring Partners LTD (“Wellspring”) by Huron Consulting Group Inc. (the “Company”).

The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006 combines the respective balance sheets of the Company and Wellspring as if the acquisition was consummated as of the balance sheet date. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2006 combine the respective statements of income of the Company and Wellspring as if the acquisition was consummated at the beginning of the period presented.

The unaudited pro forma balance sheet and consolidated statement of income are based on the purchase method of accounting and the pro forma adjustments as described in the accompanying notes. Such pro forma adjustments give effect to transactions that are directly attributable to the acquisition and are factually supportable.

Pursuant to the stock purchase agreement, additional purchase consideration is payable in cash to the sellers of Wellspring if specific performance targets are met over the next five years. The amount of additional purchase consideration that may become payable is not determinable at this time and therefore, the pro forma statements do not reflect the potential impact of such contingent payments.

The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary and is subject to refinement pending the completion of a valuation of the intangible assets acquired.

The unaudited pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with Wellspring’s audited financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, which are filed as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A, as well as the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information is not necessarily indicative of what actually would have occurred if the acquisition had been effective for the periods presented and should not be taken as representative of our future consolidated results of operations or financial position.
