Questions & answers
What does Assured Velocity do?
“Assured Velocity is an independent transformation firm for mid-market organisations. We provide senior-led diagnostics, interim and fractional leadership, operating model design, programme delivery, and programme recovery. Every engagement is led by a named partner. We hold no vendor partnerships and take no referral fees.”
Who is Assured Velocity built for?
“Mid-market organisations - typically £10m to £100m turnover - that are private, PE-backed, or listed. The common pattern is a business running hard with real complexity but without a dedicated transformation function, where a senior, vendor-neutral partner is the right intervention.”
How is Assured Velocity different from a Big-4 consultancy?
“Three structural differences. First, partners do the work - we do not staff engagements with juniors. Second, we are independent of every technology vendor and take no referral fees, so our recommendations carry no commercial bias. Third, we scope engagements to outcomes with defined deliverables, not open time and materials.”
What transformation challenges are most common in financial services firms?
“The most common challenges are: legacy technology estates that constrain agility, regulatory requirements that create significant change burden, operational processes with high manual effort, data that is fragmented across systems, and leadership teams managing too much concurrent change with insufficient programme governance.”
How do you work within FCA-regulated environments?
“We have deep experience in FCA-regulated environments and understand the intersection of regulatory compliance and operational change. We ensure that transformation programmes are designed with regulatory requirements as constraints from the outset - not treated as something to sort out at the end. We also understand how to communicate programme progress to compliance and audit functions.”
What financial services sub-sectors do you have experience in?
“Our experience spans retail banking, investment management, wealth management, insurance, MGAs and brokers, consumer credit, fintech, and payment services. Each sub-sector has specific regulatory and operational characteristics that shape how transformation work is approached.”
Can you help a financial services firm manage a major regulatory change programme?
“Yes. Regulatory change programmes - Consumer Duty, operational resilience, SMCR, DORA - have significant operational and technology implications alongside the compliance design work. We provide the programme governance and delivery capability to make the operational changes required, working alongside the firm's legal and compliance advisory resources.”
What happens on the initial engagement call?
“The engagement call is a focused 45-minute conversation with a senior partner. We ask about your business, the situation you are facing, and what you are hoping to achieve. You will get an honest view on whether we can help and what the right next step looks like - not a sales pitch.”
Is there any cost for the initial engagement call?
“No. The initial engagement call is complimentary. We do not charge for initial conversations and there is no obligation to proceed.”
Who will be on the call from Assured Velocity?
“A named senior partner takes the call - not a business development manager or account executive. The person you speak to first is the person who would lead any subsequent work.”
How should I prepare for the engagement call?
“No formal preparation is required. It helps to have a clear sense of the situation you want to discuss - but we are used to working with clients who are still forming their view of the problem. The call itself often helps clarify thinking.”
Can I bring colleagues to the call?
“Yes. Some clients bring their CFO, CTO, or chair to the initial call. The format is informal and conversational, so the more people who can contribute context, the better the conversation.”
What professional services firms do you work with?
“We work with law firms, accountancy practices, management consultancies, engineering consultancies, architecture firms, and other knowledge-intensive professional services businesses. The common thread is that the principal asset is people and their knowledge, and operational efficiency directly affects profitability and capacity for growth.”
What transformation challenges are most common in professional services?
“The most common challenges are: time recording and billing processes that create revenue leakage, matter management and workflow that relies on individual discipline rather than system support, knowledge management that is largely informal, partner-level involvement in operational decisions that should be delegated, and management information that does not give leaders a clear view of utilisation, realisations, and profitability.”
How do you improve profitability in a professional services firm without compromising quality?
“Profitability improvement in professional services comes from: improving utilisation rates (getting more billable time from existing people), improving realisations (billing more of the time recorded), reducing write-offs through better matter management, improving recovery rates for disbursements, and reducing overhead cost without touching fee-earner capability. Each firm has different leverage points - a diagnostic identifies where the biggest opportunities are.”
