The Advisor
Thirty years in the BPO industry — as operator, solution architect and advisor — focused on back office, shared services and GBS. A trusted advisor to CFOs on their managed-services journeys, fluent on both sides of the table, with deep private equity experience in carve-outs and portfolio-company playbooks.
Who We Serve
Services Catalog
Practitioner-built services refined over three decades of real operations, transitions and deals.
A structured, benchmark-backed view of how mature your F&A, SCM, Procurement and HRO functions really are. Processes heat-mapped end-to-end to surface gaps, with mitigation steps sequenced by owner and effort — the baseline that anchors your roadmap and business case.
From assessment findings to a sequenced, fundable plan — Assess → Design → Pilot → Scale — where AI and GenAI initiatives are prioritised by value and feasibility, not hype.
In-house shared services vs. outsourcing vs. hybrid GBS — costed side by side, stress-tested across volumes, locations, pricing models and AI-driven productivity. Board-ready material that stands up to CFO and investor scrutiny. Sourcing decisions lock in cost structures for 5–7 years; simulate before you commit.
Most ERP programs fail on adoption, not technology. Business readiness, process ownership and design authority with the business voice at the table — plus structured change management for outsourcing, offshoring and transformation programs, from stakeholder mapping to retained-organisation design.
Large, complex, multi-geography transitions managed with comprehensive, battle-tested frameworks — knowledge transfer, parallel run, cutover and hypercare — under risk-led, tiered governance with structured stakeholder engagement so service never misses a beat.
For enterprises: sourcing strategy, RFP design, provider evaluation and negotiation support. For providers: multi-tower solution architecture, win themes grounded in the client's real pain, and deal-review challenge. Rare fluency in both buyer needs and provider economics.
Blueprints for separating back-office functions from the parent — TSAs, day-one readiness, standalone cost models — plus repeatable portco playbooks, EBITDA-focused value-creation levers and pre-deal diligence on operations, sourcing contracts and separation risk.
Every framework, benchmark and playbook here was refined on real deals and real operations — not in a research library. Engagements start fast and land quickly.
