About us

FINARCH was born with a mission to do consulting better. 

Digital transformation is a daunting task – even for well-run and established organizations.  Often it completely changes the processes, technology and human resources that have been running your business for decades.  It requires a completely different mindset, approach and tenacity to implement successfully.  Digital transformation within the capital markets and alternative investments is often even more challenging due to the legacy nature of most systems and complicated business processes.

At FINARCH, we have helped our clients implement even the boldest of digital transformation projects.  We bring decades of experience and a pragmatic view to help guide our clients on their digital transformation journey.

1

Client focused
delivery

We take a pragmatic, vendor agnostic approach to advising and crafting solutions for your organization.   

We utilize a client-oriented and delivery first mindset.  Instead of aggressive sales tactics, we prefer to grow our business organically through referrals and only take new work when we are confident we can deliver and exceed our clients demanding expectations.

2

Technology
driven

We understand technology is the driving force of all digital transformation projects, and we have integrated that expertise into our core capabilities.  

We combine our technical expertise with our deep specialization in capital markets and alternative investments to deliver best-fit solutions for our clients.

Razor sharp
focus

We have a razor sharp focus on what we do best – which is capital markets and investment management systems implementation, support and selection.  

We specialize in working with the leading software used in the investment management industry.  We move in parallel with the rapid evolution of the capital markets by constantly learning and enhancing our capabilities.

Tools

To help accelerate our clients projects, we created a toolset which includes a range of solutions designed to support different phases of large implementation process to maximize the value we bring to our clients.

our Approach

We do consulting differently.

Despite being eager to tell clients how much their industries are evolving and that they need to invest in their services, the reality is most consultancies have operated with the same business model for decades.  They use  a sales first mentality and their business models consists of putting as many bodies as possible on their engagements to maximize revenue.

At FINARCH, we think this approach is dated and have an alternative value proposition to our clients.
