Why Clients Call Us
Markets moving fastTechnology shifts, new entrants and changing client expectations are compressing the time firms have to respond.
Cost pressure and delivery riskTransformation programmes that stall, overrun or quietly lose sight of the outcome they were meant to deliver.
Rising regulatory standardsHeightened expectations on governance and customer outcomes, with board accountability attached.
Scaling and transactionsFundraising, M&A and growth milestones that demand senior bandwidth the executive team doesn't have spare.
Talent and capability gapsSenior expertise that is needed for a defined period rather than permanently, and is hard to recruit or justify keeping on the payroll full time.
What we do
Strategic advisoryWe clarify strategy and force the real choices, working as independent, conflict-free counsel to CEO, ExCo and Board with challenge on proposition, distribution and operating model.
Hands-on deliveryWe provide execution support for technology, proposition and regulatory change, unblocking stalled programmes and tightening delivery discipline so progress is measurable, with control and resilience intact.
Embedded leadershipWe provide fractional C-suite capacity where senior input is needed, including interim and NED mandates in regulated environments, giving executive level ownership without the full time hire.
Fractional compliance
We run compliance for smaller investment firms and DFMs without the cost of a full time hire. That means one set of policies and procedures, a risk-based monitoring plan, quarterly MI to the board and a twice-yearly thematic review. Your SMF16 keeps the accountability and loses the day to day workload.
Regulatory change support
We turn FCA consultations and policy statements into decisions. That means impact assessments, consultation responses, implementation plans and board papers, across Consumer Duty, disclosure reform, SIPPs, remuneration and the AIFM regime. Read our Insights to see how we think.
How we engage
Light advisoryWe provide around one day a week. This suits ongoing strategic input, board level support or a watching brief on a live programme.
Core fractional adviserWe provide around two days a week. This suits active delivery leadership, a change programme in flight or steady executive counsel.
Embedded heavy fractionalWe provide around three days a week. This suits complex transformation, a critical transaction or gaps that need near full time senior cover.
All engagements run for a minimum of three months. Bespoke project work, transaction support and NED mandates are available on request.
Where we add value
Revenue enhancementWe identify where pricing, product mix and customer retention are leaving money on the table, then build the plan to capture it.
Regulation and governanceWe strengthen governance and control frameworks so firms meet regulatory expectations and can evidence it.
Fundraising and private equityWe prepare the story, the numbers and the data room, and support the process through to close.
M&A and transaction readinessWe get the business fit for diligence and support integration, so a deal doesn't stall on execution.
Proposition developmentWe sharpen the offer and the distribution model so clients understand the value and buy more readily.
Technology changeWe plan and drive technology change so systems support the strategy instead of holding it back, with risk and cost kept under control.
