How we help clients with our services and solutions in a "5-Phase" approach

 

 

  3-Key Advantages in working with FIRM Advisors for your LIBOR Transition

  1. We are a boutique advisory firm with a prime focus on LIBOR transition

  • While many large consulting firms are engaged in full “post-covid” process and business model re-design for entire corporations, we are (and have been for the last 3 years) dedicated to LIBOR transition as our business focus.

  • Our expertise is diverse, and specifically aligned with the skill sets required for LIBOR transition, notably risk management, capital markets, derivatives, consumer finance and contracts, including representation on the ARRC committee itself as chair of the securitization sub-committee.

  2.  Our interaction model is technology-intensive

  • Extensive use of digital processing allows for a “socially distanced” work approach, where we may access files remotely and fast track document, transaction, and back-office systems analysis with little recourse required to our clients.

  • This allows client interaction to avoid the minutia of “process” and engage with a strategic and solutions orientation.

  • Our expert services are integrated with an AI technology solution that ensures better, faster, cheaper delivery.

  3. Our business model can switch seamlessly between on-site and off-site process.

  • While we love to see our clients face-to-face, a small engagement team makes zoom/ring conferencing an easy switch.

  • With COVID's second and third “wave” potential, it is imperative that we present an uninterrupted process, where deadlines are not impacted by systemic risk or the global environment.
