What your needs are:-
Startups / Small Businesses
We understand the importance of getting startup businesses up and running quickly so they can compete without the excess overhead costs and delays typically involved; They may need more experienced guidance to provide a robust foundation to lead and grow by going forward. We know business direction will change focus and priorities often and generally require people who are flexible with larger skillsets to handle whatever that comes up who can communicate effectively with everyone in the business at all levels. There is more need for a hands on approach with infrastructure setup, process automation and overview reporting.
Medium / Large Businesses
With clear established policies, procedures and controls in place consultants must be compliant and come in to work within these conditions for the transformation project. Any solutions/models developed will follow existing guidelines using approved software within a closed/restricted/secured environment that will target particular infrastructure so that a clean handover can take place to the relevant teams who will look after it.
Financial Buy Side Businesses
Clients are at the centre of a buy side business as it will have built up a reputation and earned the trust to carefully manage their money. The focus is on performance through a predefined strategy with active risk management to suit the client’s risk appetite with clear, timely and transparent reporting. Businesses are continuously researching new investment opportunities and finding ways to outperform the market and ‘beat the banks.’
Financial Sell Side Businesses
Highly optimised, fault tolerant and efficient working services that scales to handle millions/billions/trillions going through. All aspects are carefully monitored by each function in each team. Business units are broken down to manage and focus on a particular financial intermediary service often optimised to reduced costs and complexity. Risk is managed at all levels and the general view is to eliminate all possible risk and understand and manage the remaining ones. Transformation projects are generally driven by regulatory change but can also be due to new business lines or expansion.
