When you think about financial consulting firms, you probably think about huge firms like EY, Deloitte, KPMG, PwC and McKinsey. But did you know that it’s possible to get superior expertise, more conveniently and with faster execution, all at dramatically lower cost than big consulting firms?
This consulting practice is deliberately different. We specialise in all technical and quantitative work, in both financial services and in science and engineering, right up to PhD research level — delivered personally, efficiently, and without the overheads of a large corporate machine.
Value for money
Big consulting firms:
- High overheads due to layers of partners, managers, office infrastructure and expensive real estate.
- Day rates often reflect branding and corporate structure, not actual work.
- You may meet a senior expert at the proposal stage, but most work is done by juniors paid a small fraction of the fee you pay.
Our consulting practice:
- Lean structure with no inflated corporate costs and no real estate costs.
- You pay only for the hours worked by PhD qualified experts
- No outsourcing to cheaper or junior employees
What this means for you:
Dramatically lower costs, yet more experience and expertise.
Quality and depth of expertise
Big consulting firms:
- Rely more on branding, image and politics than on rigorous work
- Technical work often handled by consultants with limited specialist training.
- Reliance on frameworks and templates rather than deep analysis.
- Documentation frequency incomplete, confusing or using obscure legalistic language, or no documentation at all.
Our consulting practice:
- Fully specialised and PhD-qualified in mathematics, coding, problem solving and quantitative finance.
- Tailored, mathematically rigorous solutions rather than generic frameworks.
- Clear and organised documentation
What this means for you:
You get bespoke, focused and technically accurate solutions for complex problems, explained and documented clearly.
Convenience, speed, and lack of bureaucracy
Big consulting firms:
- Complex onboarding, resourcing, and reporting processes.
- Slow adaptation to changing project needs or new information.
- Multiple communication layers between the client and actual modeller.
- The person you speak with may not be the person producing the work.
- Delays of weeks or months while other work is prioritised
- Small, specialised technical tasks are often uneconomical for them.
Our consulting practice:
- Direct, fast, and responsive — you deal with the person actually doing the work.
- Flexible and able to pivot quickly as requirements evolve.
- No unnecessary bureaucracy or internal approval cycles.
- Clear accountability and ownership of work delivered.
- Ideal for both small targeted projects and complex long-term engagements.
What this means for you:
Faster turnaround, clear communication, and you get exactly the expertise you need, in the format that suits your business.
Independence and objectivity
Big consulting firms:
- May have partnerships or commercial agreements with software vendors.
- Recommendations can sometimes be influenced by internal business interests, and politics that serve the consulting firm rather than the needs of your business.
Our consulting practice:
- Fully independent, with no vendor alliances or incentives.
- No internal politics – only objective advice driven purely by a desire to help you succeed.
What this means for you:
Objective, unbiased solutions designed solely around your needs.
