Morphology
The meaning 'a company that provides expert advice' is directly derivable from combining 'consult' (to give expert guidance) with 'company' (an organization). This noun-modifier composition is a standard, productive pattern with clear cross-linguistic parallels, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can infer the meaning.
Etymology
The phrase consulting company creates the image of experts who do consulting together as a company. People go to them for 'advice' and pay for it, so the term means 'a company that gives expert advice'.
