French term or phrase: banques-conseils
Aucun autre acteur ne dépasse le seuil des 20 % d’articles dédiés, une tendance qui s’explique, pour l’ensemble des acteurs, par la prédominance des interventions d’analystes, et donc d’articles dédiés à l’évolution du cours d’une entreprise ou d’un marché, voire à l’actualité de l’entreprise faisant appel aux banques-conseils.

This is a document discussing trends in financial reporting. I'm not sure what banque-conseil refers to here - is it a kind of consultancy firm for banks, or is it the board governing the bank?

Thanks in advance for any help on this phrase....

Explanation:
Lots of hits for this which seems to be companies providing advice to large contractors and other clients on structuring and managing their finances. See couple of examples below.

agree  rkillings: Good term here. If independent of a larger bank group, these firms tend to call themselves "boutique investment banks" -- and also dabble in merchant banking.
