Words that rhyme with Consultant
From a sound-design view, consultant is a stop-by-stop-grocery-shelf word on the front-and-flat /æ/, three-syllable, and it ends in a nasal feeding into a stop. The lyric earns it by placement, not by selection. Two readings: as data — no strict perfect rhymes exist in our dictionary, no near-perfect family slants exist for this one, the vowel-only slant pool is deep enough to write a whole album from; as lyric — a workaday word. Use the assonance pool freely; the ear treats most of those matches as rhymes.

Why consultant rhymes the way it does
Pull consultant apart phonetically and you get a three-syllable word with a low-front /æ/ (/æ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close closes on the nasal-stop pairing. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 2 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 46, assonance 5,184, and consonance 4. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Consultant works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
