Want to move from Big 4 Audit into Consulting (UK)

I have been working in big 4 audit now for just under 3 years and have obtained my ACA. My contract with my firm end of 2020, but auto-renews and makes me assistant manager unless I choose to decline the offer. I want to move into consulting, I have spoken to individuals who have worked in companies such as Mckinsey / BCG, and the work seems so much more interesting compared to the mundane life of finance audit. The pay is also seemingly more attractive there...

Anyone have any idea how I can position myself to move into top tier consulting eventually and perhaps when would be the best time to do this?
