Financial Services Consulting

Our Financial Services expert network includes former senior banking industry executives, former regulators (Federal Reserve, OCC, FDIC, CFPB, and State), and highly experienced technology and data professionals.   We help financial services institutions solve complex business problems by providing deep subject matter expertise in banking, capital markets, insurance and asset and wealth management. Our resources marry an understanding of business objectives with an ability to bridge gaps in the operating model design (people, process, technology, and data). We move from strategy through execution with a more efficient delivery model that focuses on bringing the right level of expertise, technology, and cost-effective resources.  We craft solutions that are both credible for regulators and sustainable for our clients. 

Importantly, we work collaboratively with our clients — and their other service providers, if relevant — to ensure projects yield results that address our clients’ real problems.  We employ advanced digital and analytical techniques to achieve fact-based decision making in an accelerated fashion.
